That's what I use mine for. I installed a copy of Alarm Clock plus. I use this because it has a dimmer, so you can leave it on during the night and still read the time without blinding you. You can also set up the soft keys at the bottom to instant go to your radio app, and get the radio to play to wake you up.
I also have rad.io installed for the radio stations, Podcaster for podcasts, Shuttle for mp3s, Mortplayer for audiobooks, Spotify and Squeezeplayer. Now the upgrade made them compatible, I may swap out Shuttle for Poweramp, and rad.io for Tunein. The combination makes a perfect bedside radio with all the audio choices you will ever need. I do not use it to play video, but it does a good job at that also. The things I like are the remote, which allows you to adjust the volume without stretching over to the nightstand. Its also pretty easy to change apps with the cursor keys. The only downside is its pretty big, so it takes up a lot of real estate on the nightstand, and the sound quality is just OK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ malaugh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17610 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103810 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
