That’s cool. I just wish more clock radios included a simple line in port. This is the one of a very few and is the cheapest by a lot.

Hope is sounds good.

SOLD!!!
i got really sick of using the same clock radio i’ve had for at least 15 years. i set up my ipod as an alarm using altec lansing speakers, but it can’t take the place of my alarm clock because it doesnt have a large display i can read.
i’ll definitely be picking one of these up. will they come in black?

oops. sorry to post again. does this alarm clock have a snooze function?!
do the clock’s numbers always stay lit or do you have to hit a backlight button to view them?
is there a website that has more info? or a place you can pre-order?

I think I would end up throwing my iPod, rather than a $9.99 clock…

I can see it now…“Where is that bloody snooze button?” Crash, boom, bam goes my iPod, tumbling to the floor. Ouch…

Oooohhh that is a good idea.

If it sounds good as the AND works as a decent clock radio, I am totally sold, especially at that price. Can’t wait.

So now I can clear off my very cluttered nightstand a bit. I can move the speakers somewhere else in my apartment and just have this. About time.

Finally! a product with what look like real speakers, not those silly little shiny drivers that you see in everything else. They look like about two inch speakers, lets hope the audio quality is something to crow about.

I just bought one yesterday at Target (maybe they shouldn’t be selling it yet?).  The sound is good - not Bose quality, but definitely good.  So far I have been very impressed, especially given the price point.  The alarm function worked great and plays ipod well, along with the radio options.  It is much betty at pulling in FM signals than other desk top radios I’ve had.

As far as waking up to a specific song ont he iPod - Yes.  Just set the iPod to play that song before you dock it.

I would definitely recommend buying to remote control.  I don’t have it, but it appears that you can control to iPod songs without it.  Instead, once docked, the iHome simply plays what the iPod has programmed - the iPod controls are deactivated.  With the remote, you can skip, rewind and fast forward ...

The lighted is great - all the radio buttons have the same amber color as my 3G iPod.  Display is easy to read and has three dimmer settings.

All in all, buy the remote and it seems like it’ll be a great add.

great idea, but $100 seems a little pricey

Hey Chuck—did you find it at a regular Target or Super Target?  I’ve been trying to hunt it down at all the nearby Targets but no luck so far :(.  Going to try two more tomorrow!!

Yeah, I just saw this at Target, and it looks great.  (Regular Target, btw, not SuperTarget.)  Its $125 there, and $100 on Amazon.  When I can find it some place for about $80, I’ll definitely snap one up.

Also: Check out the photo of the young hipster in his posh loft that’s printed on the box. The view outside his window is of downtown Portland.  Judging by the view, he must be a neighbor of mine!  If I see him, I’ll ask for a product review

Alright Lads, I’m in sunny old blighty and am wondering if this is only 120V or also 240V. If it can be used over here then I think I’ll have to find someone to ship one to me. Pronto!!
