Sonos alarm/clock - display the time

It would be great if SONOS made a sonos 2 clock radio with a digital screen showing the time and all the normal features. A smaller bedroom version of the sonos where if you wake up at 5am and wanna know the time you can just look yet also have all the great features that sonos otherwise brings. Got to be a good seller and far cheaper than buying the controller to just keep in the dock showing the time!!!

    And I guess 10 years ago Nokia said we make phones and who needs music on them. I love all my sonos gear but they are there to be disrupted.
    You're saying adding a clock (basic) to a multiroom hifi system (sophisticated) can be compared to adding 4G internet etc (sophisticated) to a phone (basic)? I don't think this is where the competitive battle will be won and lost......

      I’d buy 2 more if they came with a clock.

      Totally agree with @chicks. This is a hifi system not an alarm clock. Of course Sonos have done nothing about this nonsensical suggestion.

      Perhaps a bit late to the party but:

      The idea is only nonsensical due to current production methods where every "silly" model needs an enormous start up cost. When we finally get high quality, cheap automated, single item manufacture then Sonos could easily do a Play:X with a clock (or a coffee maker or ...) for the few people you think will want it for a modest design cost. I already buy properly bound books with a print run of one which was unthinkable when I was younger.

      My point is that much of the discussion is based on assumptions that there will be no disruptive technology and look what happened to telephone exchanges, mainframe computers, broadcast TV, video rental stores etc.

      Think big or you might become a small footnote in a history book.
