I'm starting to consider getting a chumby to replace my musicpal i bought a while ago, mostly for this feature:

Quote:
alarm enhancements

Summary: To make your alarms more reliable, a new backup alarm feature has been added.

The backup alarm is a loud beep that will automatically sound if you do not respond to your primary alarm screen by tapping the “Turn off alarm” or “Snooze” button.


The musicpal has let me down a number of times already when it had network problems. It supposedly has the same feature, with a rooster's call, but that's either too soft or it just doesn't work.
