iHome has announced its iP99, its new iPhone-compatible dual alarm clock radio. The iP99 features a built-in Universal dock that can play and charge both the iPhone and docking iPod models, the ability to wake or sleep to custom playlists, stereo drivers with matching Reson8 speaker chambers and 10W of power, line-in, a full-featured remote with iPhone and iPod menu control, adjustable snooze, an AutoSet clock, a high-contrast LCD display with dimmer, and more. In addition, the iP99 is specially shielded to protect against TDMA noise and interference from the iPhone. The iH99 now available for pre-order through Brookstone, one of two retailers offering the product through the end of summer, or from iHome’s website. iHome also plans to offer the iP9, an iPhone-specific version of the iH9 we’ve reviewed, as a less powerful and less expensive alternative. The iHome iP99 will be available in June and will sell for $150.

I have a pre-order for the Luna X2 in, but, while I don’t currently have an iPhone, the fact that the not-yet-released Luna X2 isn’t going to support the iPhone has me thinking twice about that pre-order. I forsee having an iPhone in the future. I can’t wait to see a review of the iP99, especially as it compares to the Luna X2. If it’s at least as good and offers iPhone compatibility, I’ll probably go that route.
