The story of WakeMate could be viewed as a warning to all tech-savvy entrepreneurs out there: building a hardware device is much more difficult than most web applications. The promise of WakeMate is compelling ?�it sells a $60 wristband that tracks your movements during the night, syncs to your smartphone, and wakes you up in the morning when you're in the lightest stage of sleep, thereby reducing grogginess (hopefully). But the going hasn't been easy. The company trudged through a year of delays, faulty units, and upset customers before it finally started shipping in December, only to run into another issue: customers who had WakeMate units were having issues with the accompanying smartphone�applications, which weren't properly syncing.�Which led to more negative reviews and frustration. But now things are starting to look up for WakeMate.
