Sharper Image went out of business a while ago. What am I missing here?

$100 for 6 watts - yeah, that’s logical!

That’s pretty cool looking. The informercial-like video on the product website is funny.

They were actually aquired by Camelot Venture Group. “Through an exclusive licensee agreement with Sharper Image, Camelot manages and operates the SharperImage.com website and ecommerce platform.”

Cool. Nice clock radio even, given that you can run a clock radio application on the iPhone that emulates whatever kind of clock display you want. The ability to rotate the iPhone onto its side is cool, though seems like it could be done cheaper of course without the electric motor. Also kind of big for something at the bedside that has to face your bed, along with accessible space for a lamp, book, watch, glasses etc.
