The Klipsch system sounds excellent for the price and a third-party alarm app should fulfill your requirements nicely, so long as you remember to turn the app on before you go to sleep each night. I use The Alarm Clock and it's quite good.
It's just over 10MB.

In most cases I would agree with you, but when even lengthy books clock in at around a megabyte, storage really isn't much of an issue with the thing.

Just as an example: Bleak House, by Charles Dickens, weighs in at about 1.2 megabytes for a book that's about 1000 pages long. How much reading do you really need to keep on there?
Someone's obviously never used an e-ink screen for any extended amount of time.
This is actually kind of a big failing. I've found that, being left-handed, I hold the device on that side more often and 90% of my page turns use the left-hand buttons.
Use the included USB cable to drag-and-drop files onto the device. Just like the current Kindle.
You're wrong. Apple charges for major updates to the iPod touch (2.0, 3.0), but all minor updates (2.1, 2.1.2) are free. This Kindle firmware is a minor update.
Sounds too much like Atomo. Iron Giant, anyone?
No problems with msn.com here.
The interface looks gorgeous, from a design standpoint, but I second the opinion that the single-touch gesture system makes the thing look kind of clunky and unresponsive. Obviously the hardware's up to it - why not attempt a more robust touch interface?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
