I haven't seen any "regular" alarm clock radio where the alarm can still sound during a power outage. The 9v battery backup in these types of alarms only keeps the correct time for when the mains power comes back on. Many such alarms also break down after a while, can have their volume levels at zero without you knowing it, the radio station might be off the air, etc.
Yes, there are potentially more failure points to a client-server product, but the Radio and Boom can sound an alarm without a server present. You also forgot the biggest failure point of all. Simply sleeping through the alarm. Myself, I usually wake up from 1 to 5 minutes before any alarm I set, regardless of what time it's for and regardless of where I'm sleeping. But that's just me. ;) I'm tossing my current clock radio when the SBS comes in. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70526 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
