I used it last night for the first time, it woke me up about 25 minutes early. I really like it, I think I'll keep using it.

How does it wake you up early on the first run? It takes two nights to calibrate.

I picked it up yesterday, not sure what I think yet but I'll keep it going. 2 nights to calibrate and then I'll see what it's all about. The graph seemed fairly on the money though when I woke up at 3AM and got a drink of water the thing spiked.

Interesting to look at if nothing else. 99 cents it's all good.

Final Fantasy is awesome. They did a great job updated the graphics but keeping it like the original. Plants vs Zombies is also fantastic.

Angry Birds is another one I recommend. You shoot/catapult birds with different abilities and try to knock down stick buildings. Addicting little it is.

I don't know. I set it for 7am and it woke me up at 6:37am. I didn't see where it said it would take 2 days to calibrate first... maybe I didn't do the calibration part? It had my full sleep chart ready and it made sense to me.... it showed me starting to wake up around 6:20 and the iphone went off.

In reading the app, it does say it takes 2 days to calibrate, but it doesn't say that it won't wake you up on those 2 days.

I tried it out last night and had the alarm set for 6:35, which is when it went off.. However it didn't notice that I was awake at 5AM or at 6:25 when my girlfriend's alarm went off.

MLB At Bat 2010 has been released...unfortunately it is 14.99 this year. Pretty sure it was ten bucks last year. I'll wait a bit, but will probably end up getting this. It truly is an amazing app for baseball fans.

I downloaded the sleepcycle app, but I don't have a charger that I can use so the phone is on my bed. Is that going to be a problem? Do I need to have it charging while I sleep?

TSN has a trade deadline app thats pretty sweet, only good for one more day but it is nice to have the auto alerts when ever there is a trade.

I don't think you have to, but they recommend it because they say it averages 30% of the battery power over night, but could be more. So I think the only problem is your phone running out of juice, and thus not waking you up. Just fully charge it, use the app, and set a backup alarm just in case.

It woke me up 10 minutes early today, second day I've had it on.... not sure what the calibration aspect is, or if it calibrates at the same time as actually working. I have the charts on both nights and they look exactly right.

It's nice being able to measure your sleep so you 'know' how good it was, rather than trying to figure it out based on how tired you are in the morning.

I think it uses more than that. Mine was at 50% before I went to bed and it died before I woke up, so now I always have it connected to the charger.

X2

The best thing they did is have it perpetually auto-save, so that if the game ever crashes, you take a call, or hit the home button - you can just resume from where you left off.

Naw, you don't need this. You're much better off with your $20 Diamond Rio mp3 player.

On a serious note, why on earth would anyone pay $200 plus $80/month just to play Final Fantasy? It's kind of a ridiculous thing to suggest.
