I haven’t gotten my iPhone gloves yet, but yesterday Fedex delivered the iPhone clock radio I ordered from the online Apple store last week. I could have gone to the Apple store in Chicago and paid exactly the same price ($78 + tax) but I was at the store the day before Thanksgiving, ie: the day before it went on sale from $99, and I wasn’t gonna go through the pain in the ass of getting there a second time.
I really like this thing… it recharges my iPhone, plays my music and application audio through the speakers (awesome for Pandora), and the alarm can be set to wake me up with iPod music, radio, or the buzzer. As the guy in the video says, the sound isn’t the greatest but I listened to a few different models while I was at the store and none of them blew me away.
The only big disappointment in this unit is that there’s no “seek” on the radio tuner - you have to keep pressing the up/down buttons to find radio stations. BFD, I don’t listen to the radio anyway.
The motion-sensing thing is cool, and for some reason I like using the remote control even though I could just as easily reach across the bed to mess with it.
It’s especially nice to have my iPhone 3G plugged into this thing when I’m drifting into unconsciousness with apps like aSleep and Ambience.
This is someone else's photo! I don't listen to Madonna, and if I did I wouldn't be advertising it to the world
