No alarms on the iPad without a running app, bugs me

The iPad can pay your energy bill over secure socket layer, but still can't wake up an alarm from sleep!

Apps like NightStand and Alarm Clock Pro only work if the app is running.

Scenario: partner is asleep, alarm is set. You play around with the iPad and the alarm app fails to notify because it is not running. Nice.

Even the iPod touch can do that.
