Wakemate Returns

This time it's personal - an ex-Wakemate engineer's perspective

  1. MiLifePlus: Bluetooth Health Sensor For iPhone and Android
    Hi, my name is Greg Nemeth. I am the co-founder of the Y Combinator-funded WakeMate and now, my company Three Thirds Inc. has taken the WakeMate sensor technology to the next level with MiLife+. We like to think of it as the 'smart Livestrong band'. MiLife+ is everything WakeMate was, plus more.

    I am no longer with Perfect Third Inc (the company that makes the WakeMate) and I cannot comment on what will happen with it.

    I can offer $20 off MiLife+ if you were a WakeMate customer though

    Dear #wakemate: You should really spellcheck your newsletters before you send them.

    I seriously thought the Wakemate email this morning was spam due to the typos. It's not. Just an ugly situation: bit.ly/LC2luW

    WakeMate: what happens when you let non-technical people develop a hardware/software device. Fuckers.

    So, fail to deliver on your first product and, apparently, fail to invest your profits into your second one? indiegogo.com/MiLifePlus #wakemate

    @wakemate WTF! I fucking hate my wake mate. It was wasted money. It doesn’t work. And now you came out with a better product. Ugh.

  21. WakeMate Update " Wakeblog
    Hello everyone. MiLife+ Many of you received an email this morning concerning a new product called MiLife+. Today is the first time I have heard of this product and I am shocked at the way it was promoted to WakeMate customers. We are not affliated with this product in any way.

    @al3x As it turns out, it isn't their "next model"; it's one cofounder who secretly started a competing Wakemate. Original Wakemate: dead.
