Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Does this new model have a auto-sleep button?

2009-09-30 Thread Milhouse

Considering I would have bought the Radio over the internet it's too
much of a risk and simply too much hassle to buy it only to find the
knob is not an adequate replacement for a snooze button, so I'll be
waiting for the successor Radio II, or buying an alternative to replace
my decrepit Sony FM radio/alarm with it's honking big - and well used -
snooze button.

I'd love to have bought a Logitech Radio but I don't see why I should
take a leap of faith and potentially waste money on return shipping (and
yet more on re-stocking fees) over something so basic/obvious as a
snooze button on a product designed for use in as a bedside alarm.

I genuinely believe Logitech will lose a ton of sales over this design
oddball decision. :(

 How about this:
 
 The biggest control on the product is a SNOOZE button which is a  
 gigantic button on the front of the unit.
 
 Oh, and it can also be used for scrolling.  :)

The fact it has to be pointed out explains why sales will be lost -
people expect a dedicated snooze button on a bedside alarm, usually on
top where it can get slapped several times each morning...

Twiddling a knob in the morning might work (ahem) but unfortunately I
have no intention of putting myself into a position where I have to ship
the Radio back to the retailer at my own cost should I find it doesn't
work for me. It will be interesting to read the experiences of those who
do give it a try though.
