Sony, a direct Apple competitor on many products, as just released a new alarm clock and docking station for iPod and iPhone. According to Sony, the ICF-ClipMK2 (Could they make more apealing names?) is designed for bedrooms, studio apartments or college dorm rooms,
It features a wireless remote with full access to the iPod and iPhone devices’ menus (the iPhone handset must be in iPod mode), as well as to alarm clock’s radio tuning and volume functions. Of course, it will also
charge your iPhone while it’s docked.
Instead of providing differnent adapters to fit all iPod models and the iPhone, Sony developed an adjustable backstop mechanism to ensure that most devices fit snugly and securely in the clock radio’s cradle.
The clock radio also has a full-function alarm clock. Users can choose to wake up or fall asleep to music, the radio or a buzzer.
The iPhone speaker system comes in both black and white designs. It will be available in May for about $100.
