Very interesting article. I am wondering if the Bedtime part of the Clock app can be customized. I have set songs to wake me up on different days. I appreciate the Bedtime feature, but I hope it can workw with my songs, or that I can turn it off and go back to the old Alarm screen. Finding your car in a parking lot sounds really cool too. Though I don't drive, which is good (hahaha), my wife drives, and being able to find our car would really come in handy.
