Why do you need a smartphone to use the product? Why doesn't the device just use wifi to call any number so that I could have it call my cell and wake me up?
That $5 pre-order is far too easy to do. I bought one without stopping to research other products like the http://www.fitbit.com/ . Brilliantly designed pricing. It's a lot like Glastonbury ticketing. Deposits in autumn, full payment in January. This is extra profitable because in January many people are short on cash post-christmas and either can not or choose not to pay the full amount. You get to keep the non-refu…
Sounds really interesting. It's a shame it's not shipping sooner. I just had a 7 month vacation and getting my sleep pattern back to normal has proved nearly impossible. Some days I wake up super energized after 5 or so hours and then days like yesterday, I get 7 hours in and I wake up feeling like I haven't slept in days. Pre-ordered one for sure. On a side note, this page is terribly hard on the eyes. http://www.wa…
It does sound interesting, and for $50, I'd be very tempted to try it. But yeah, who puts -1px letter spacing on their body copy? Ouch. Painful.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can you give us some more details about your experience with the device?
Yeah, no problem. I didn't get to use one of the new, super sleek, production quality ones. I used an early prototype that slipped inside a wrist band (like tennis players wear). It was actually still pretty comfortable to sleep with - I didnt even feel it after the first night. It definitely woke me up at the optimal time in my sleep cycle. The alarm app was a really simple web app, and the bluetooth was simple. It…
I don't have trouble getting to sleep if I put in a full day of productive work topped off with exercise. Is this product only for people with sleep problems?
How is wrist movement co-related to sleep patterns ? Is there any scientific study / data out there that explain the co-relation ?
Co-relation of pulse rhythm is more obvious - cant say the same about wrist movement.
Anyone care to explain ?

It took me about 15 seconds from the initial onload to typing my PayPal password, and I'm normally just seething with deliberative-yuppie-purchasing-angst. My normal minimum conversion time is at least an hour of research and a week of wall-clock time.
If you can hack my purchasing process so effectively, I'm pretty confident that you'll do well by my sleep cycle. Bravo!

Congratulations, excellent idea and a very nicely priced implementation.
I sincerely hope you'll sell these by the containerload.
