The clock itself is round, the shape of the CD’s which it opens up to accomodate. Everything, including the display is silver or black, and there is a slide-out dock for connecting your iPhone or iPod Touch.

The iPod dock in Sony’s clock radio is full-featured, capable of both charging and controlling an iPod or iPhone. This allows you use the unit’s included remote to both control the Sony’s volume and choose songs on your iPod. As with most similar units, there is a line in for connecting other audio devices.

When morning comes, the ICFCD3iPSIL has an included alarm, which can wake you to an iPod, iPhone, CD, buzzer, or the unit’s AM/FM radio. A dual alarm is included. The system is also able to utilize automatic time set and automatic daylight savings time to make sure you are always woken at the proper hour.

As an alarm clock made to work with the iPod, the SP2-Box fulfills a definite need (although there are other iPod alarm clocks). Your iPod plugs into the unit’s top and charges via the dock. An easy to set alarm clock can be programmed so you wake up to music from your iPod. It’s also possible to wake up to an alarm or the radio.

Some of the other features of the Satechi Box include an LCD backlit screen, 2″ speakers, and a remote control that is capable of controlling both the clock radio and your iPod Touch. The system features good sound for a small clock radio, and is also compatible with other audio devices via a 3.5mm input jack.

Although fully compatible with iPod Nanos, iPod Touches, and the iPod Classic, the Satechi runs into some hiccups when working with an iPhone or iPhone 3G. The SP2-Box will function and play music from your device, but the iPhone gives an error message. Additionally, if it drops into Edge mode, the Box will experience interference (it is not fully shielded from cell phone signals). This can be avoided by putting your iPhone into airplane mode.

The Satechi is competitively priced at ~$60.

We suggest you look at the SP2-Box’s page at Amazon for more information or to purchase.

The dock is a great bedroom companion for your iPod Touch. Your iPod plugs directly into the dock, and can be controlled via the Sony’s remote control. It will also charge your iPod while plugged in, so if you just put your music player on the dock when you get home, it will always be charged and ready to go in the morning. The radio is also compatible with other MP3 players through an auxiliary audio input jack.

In addition to being a great iPod accessory, this Sony clock radio is also an excellent alarm clock. It has dual alarms, and you can be woken up by your iPod, the radio, or a buzzer. Additionally, the clock supports auto time set and automatic daylight savings time adjustment, so you never have to worry about making sure you will be getting up at the right time.

If you are looking for a well designed and well priced iPod clock radio, the Sony Sony ICF-C1IPMK2 should be near the top of your list.
