ShakeAwake is the original vibrating alarm clock and it doesn't have the
sound system.  Could you tell me what brand of the sound alarm you saw
in the Shaper Image store ?  Does your ShakeAwake have a black model ?
Just checking...

The vibrating alarm clock model at Sharper Image is also a SHAKE
AWAKE model (model SA2).

I bought this model as a back-up to the one bought back in September.

The Sharper Image clock has the same black case, etc, but has some
minor differences:

     1.  it light ups on both sides of the display
     2.  has whiter, sharper lettering on the front
     3.  has all the features of the 'older' one (model MM1)
          PLUS a sound alarm feature

     The two switches on the front are labeled as follows:

     MM1 model                               SA2 model
     Switch 1       Switch 2           Switch 1   Switch 2

     Lock           Alarm on           Snooze     Vib. alarm (symbol)
     Alarm set      Off                Lock       Off
     Time set       Snooze             Alarm set  Sound alarm
                                                     (symbol)
                                       Time set

The SHARPER IMAGE model costs $29.95 plus tax.  (May include $3.00
shipping where necessary).  The sound alarm is nice but not always
needed.

The MM1 model bought direct from the company cost $24.95 plus $2.50
shipping.

Hope this helps.

 Karen

Thank you, Karen, for investigating the difference between the older
and the current models of ShakeAwake.  I still use the MM1 model today.
When did the current model start stocked in the market, Karen ?
