Is is so strange to expect that a device that was advertised as bedside radio, that features a dedicated alarm button and that was praised to have an improved wakeup mechanism (featuring a 2nd low power CPU that serves as real time clock and wakes up the radio before an alarm) actually has a working alarm?
Besides: it's not only the alarm. The whole software concept is crap. It was obviously designed and implemented by people who don't have the slightest knowledge about robustness and realtime systems. Or at least some common sense. Indeed, it's hard to imagine that any experienced developer worked on this. How is it possible that a device doesn't even react correctly to the simplest of commands and there was not the slightest improvement in whole year after the original release? Every single morning the alarm fails this way or the other. When the alarm stopped for no reason and I press the OFF button, it starts again. Sometimes the doorstopper switches itself on and every single time I try to shut it down, it restarts instead. Sometimes it freezes completely, sometimes menu items are missing, sometimes it claims there is no WLAN until I reboot it, sometimes it claims it can't connect to MYSB until I reboot it. Let's say: it really keeps my busy, but it never just simply works. Now really, I own quite a lot of cheap Chinese crap product, but the greatest disappointment and biggest cause of daily pain in my crap gadget collection is by far that dreaded Radio. How can a large company like Logitech fail so miserably to develop something so simple? How is it possible that they didn't realize months ago how broken the Radio is and that they really need to work out an emergency plan to get the software to a level that is at least acceptable before they ruin the reputation of the whole product line? This is really completely beyond my imagination. As a side note: one year ago, I really wanted to update my SB3 to a Touch. I wanted to buy a Touch as present for my sister and at least two of my colleagues were interested in the Touch because I praised my SB3 so much and the Touch seemed to be better in every possible way.
