That wouldn't be particularly useful.

Okay, nice to see what the time is, and some people would like to be able to 
snooze or turn off alarm, but the screen doesn't show what is playing.  The 
alarm button can be pressed to turn the alarm off, and it is annoying that 
there isn't a distinct snooze button on the top of the device like Boom.

But one of the reasons why I like a media player for an alarm, is so I can see 
the extra detail.  i.e. I play random music as an alarm; it's a great way of 
discovering music I haven't heard in ages.  But sometimes something comes on 
that I don't recognise - which is also good for waking me up, as it gets me 
thinking.  I usually glance over to see what is playing, and often also look to 
see what will play next, to decide whether to stay in bed for a few more 
minutes.  Others may play an internet radio station and thus also hear 
something playing that they want to discover more about, but won't be able to 
see because all you get to see on the screen is two mechanisms for stopping 
playback.
