But my understanding is that there already is <fx: pause to google Mamo documentation> an alarm framework in Maemo 5. What this suggestion is about is integrating functionality into the most common ways people will set alarms. Having a seperate app seems redundant to me; what's needed is extension of the way the time based apps use react to the alarm event, thus making them more rich. Solution 6 seems to have covered my ideas the best, and extended them with the bloody good holiday idea.
