RCA has introduced two new “Made for iPod” audio products—the RCA RP5500i Dual Wake Clock Radio and RCA RS2130i Bookshelf system.
The RP5500i Dual Wake Clock Radio ($80; May) features a slide-out drawer with universal iPod dock, USB connectivity, and AM/FM radio. The unit also offers an automatic time set feature, two separate alarm settings, RCA’s Graduwake and SmartSnooze features, adjustable brightness control, and built-in battery backup.
The RS2130i Bookshelf Audio System ($170; May) features an external iPod dock, a 160-watt digital amplifier, and a five-disc CD changer that reads CDs and CD-R/RW discs with MP3 and WMA files. The system also offers RCA’s “Rip&Go” feature, which records music directly to an MP3 player via a built-in USB port.

Finally, someone introduces an iPod clock radio with red-on-black LED display, the only kind of display that doesn’t brighten a room. Now how does it sound and where is the earphone jack?

Not if you manually synch your iPod.
