I might be interested in buying this if I could see the freaking hardware and software requirements of the phone. Even a list of phones that work with it would be a start.

Is this definitely a real product and not some kind of spoof? How can people be sure when they order them (as so many of you seem to have done) if you don't know the hardware and software requirements?

There's a compatibility checker here:

Oh, I didn't realise this blog existed. I've been waiting for an email update since their last one on April 1st.

How is it compared to iPhone apps like Sleep Cycle(it works and has ~5000 positive reviews)?

They haven't shipped anything yet so you can't compare. One would imagine it would be more accurate (and work better for beds with more than 1 person in them) but we'll have to find out in a month (hopefully)

"Hello soon to be WakeMaters,"

I don't believe their first line of copy.
