"The purpose of devices such as this is not to fill an existing demand, but rather to fill a new niche, to create a demand where there was none."
@Alex So what you're saying is it's a solution in search of a problem? That's not a good business plan if these guys intend to make a go of this. Never has to my knowledge. On another note: am I crazy asking myself a question on a blog ;p
I understand that, but an item like this would have to do something new in order for me to want it instead of integrating a bunch of devices into a pillow. Especially at 180 bucks. Maybe if it were around the 100 mark I would consider getting it for someone as a gift.

I still don't see a reason why I would actually need this thing.

I'd buy it just because you could use it as an alarm clock that is always accurate and one that you could throw across the room to turn off... :p

The laser was a solution needing a problem, and now lasers are everywhere used in several different industries and devices.
