SDI iHome iH5 Alarm Clock for the iPod
Now here’s an iPod dock that’s pretty useful. I found it at DesignTechnica, where they’ve given a full review of the device. They conclude:
“The SDI iHome iH5r alarm clock is a good first attempt at bridging the iPod-alarm clock gap. The sound quality left us slightly disappointed, but on par with several other options at the same price point. But, sound quality is generally not the selling point for an alarm clock. The functionality is straightforward, but makes some rookie mistakes we hope to see addressed in later revisions. In the end, there are a lot of small nuisances that a new owner will have to get used to, but if you must have an iPod-integrated alarm clock, this is your best (and only) option.”
I hadn’t been aware there was an iPod-alarm clock gap that required bridging, but hey, it makes sense to me! It would be cool to wake up to a song on my iPod. It looks like so far this is the only alarm clock for the iPod, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are others on the way.
