Maybe i got a dud, but My iH5 isnt what I was expecting.I expected that when alarm went off, the volume would slowly fade up to gently wake me. Not so. The volume ramps up very quickly, so that its basically like the thing just comes on full volume.I expected that the snooze feature would work well. It doesn't. When the alarm initially goes off, Ipod plays just fine. After the first snooze, the buzzer goes off. After the next snooze, the Ipod will play again, after the next, the buzzer goes off, etc. How annoying.I expected the manual and the buttons to be fairly intuitive. They aren't.
