Please for the love of god update your homepage image; it still shows a product that is a magnitude of different than the shipping product.

a magnitude of different

You probably meant something in English here.

I did notice that wakemate/paypal charged my credit card this week... I guess that means that you'd better be damn close to shipping these.

I browsed through half-a-dozen pages, including "How it works" and "Product Tour" looking for the phone hardware and software requirements. No sign of them. I am not going to buy something without this information, and you have not made it easy to find.

Stop giving me updates. Ship me my product.

You are terrible. Seriously.

I'm not entirely convinced I haven't been suckered into buying into some giant fraud and there is no product.

Come on. Hardware is hard. They've clearly made a huge amount of progress recently, and I'm glad to see them update the blog. That doesn't excuse their pretty bad communication over the past few months, but they're a small startup and they're learning. They're improving. They're iterating.

If any group of people should be able to give a company like Wakemate some slack, it's HN.

Whether or not they give updates is completely irrelevant to when they ship. Many customers asked for more regular updates, they are responding. Chill out.

You should buy a Pandora (http://open-pandora.org/), if you want more practice with these kinds of things.

Of course, now they're actually being manufactured, so it's a bit late for the personality-enhancement part of that plan. D'oh.

It has a simplicity of an Apple product, but not its polish. Yes, the wrinkles need fixin' to be perfect :)
