Learning from Wakemate - Smart announcements

This is spot on. I purchased the WakeMate with the understanding that it was planned to be released in Jan. I am 100% OK with the fact that manufacturing issues is causing a delay in meeting their Jan 25 commitment. Shit happens. And for a 10% commitment on my end, I don't feel at all betrayed due to the push back on date.

It's the whole "Premium Analytics Features FREE for EACH month their delivery is delayed" that rubbed me the wrong way. When I read that, my first reaction was "Wait, did I miss something?". I then went to the wakemate site and saw no mention of this paid plan. That's when I realized I was being taken for a ride. Bait and switch anyone?

This is the response I got last night before any of these HN threads started:

It's disingenuous to tell me you have new features when I don't know what your existing features are.

So, I guess we'll see what we end up with.

Actually the site seems to indicate that whatever analysis they do will be made available for free:

"After a night's data is collected, it is automatically uploaded to our servers, analyzed, and made available on the WakeMate Analytics platform."

This implies that the analysis is made available, and no mention of a charge usually implies it's made available for free.
