Strictly from a user-interaction point of view was my thinking there. As in, when you roll over in the early morning to hearing the alarm, hitting the screen blindly makes it much easier to ignore the alarm/put it into snooze; hitting it twice to turn it off is also relatively easy to do without actually being consciously awake to see what the heck you're doing. On the other side of the coin is the request to have a 15 key passcode/sequence you have to press in order to turn the alarm off or make it snooze. In the early morning this requires a lot more conscious effort and co-ordination. From a technical point of view they're both relatively straight forward to implement; the sequence one would be a bit slightly more so, but not by much. My point though is that I don't want to "overload" Flip with so many options for doing things that users will be confused and uncertain of what's going on. I can make all three modes available, but it means the themes will be a bit more complex, and there will have to be obvious documentation explaining the various alarm modes. Right now all of this would be because of two different requests... I'm all for doing what you guys want here don't get me wrong! But I want to hear some confirmations from other users that these features will be worthwhile and NOT overly confusing or complex, that's all. Since you made the original request for the single/double tap alarm thing Jim I haven't noticed anyone else posting their support or disagreement, so it kind of gets shuffled down the priority list until I get more feedback (maybe I missed it? Sorry it's a busy thread some days!). I do know that a lot of people complained about the way the old Flip handled alarms saying it was far too easy to turn an alarm off by accident, so I want to avoid that a bit. Thanks!
