Requesting for an alarm application

[tjrundy]

Hello,

I'm looking for an alarm application and wonder if anyone can help with a recommendation. I would like the alarm to play a podcast rather than sound an alarm. That way I can wake up to something a bit more interesting than a monotonous beep!

I've tried 'Appalarm', but can't see how to make that work with a podcast. 'News Alarm' is close, but I don't want to dismiss the alarm before I hear the podcast - the whole point is that the podcast will rise me from my sleep gently. Bit like a very simple 'old skool' radio alarm that you can buy from ebay for $1. Makes you wonder why my $500 phone can't do the same thing... (technological progression etc. blah
blah)...

Anyways, Please can anyone recommend a way of making this work? I'm running Android 2.1 on a Motorola Milestone / Droid.

Thank you in advance!

Tom.

If you can bookmark a podcast(s) through your internet browser you can use appalarm to open that bookmark and use the custom intents on it. You can also get cnn news on slacker now and can open slacker and pandora from appalarm.
