They're still tweeting as of 2 weeks ago. http://twitter.com/wakemate

Lots of apologizing in that stream.

Bummer. I had high hopes for them.

Whenever I mentioned Wakemate to anyone they had an interested response

Hey guys, we are still working out some stuff with regards to the future of the company. We will be emailing all our users and making a formal announcement soon!

Crowded space.. lots of players with FitBit and all these gadgets. Funny thing is they're all targeting a very tiny % of the population..

That's a shame, I've been waiting for a while for them to have more in stock in Europe.

What would people recommend as a replacement? Fitbit looks good, but I am really only after the alarm clock aspect of the product.

My Wakemate refused to pair with my iPhone 4S. After weeks of troubleshooting I was sent an email that basically said they don't have the cash to fix the problem but that they'd be keeping the service running for existing customers. It's a shame because I really liked the product when it worked with my old iPhone.

Yea, it's pretty much dead. Android support has been nonexistant for at least 6 months now. They finally closed the beta mailing list because there were people asking about the status of it.
