This unit features a pair of 2.75″ drivers, which are almost universally applauded for their ability to output higher quality sound than you would expect from a small system.

Satechi has designed the SP1-Curve to function as an alarm clock for the iPod Touch, featuring a blue LED backlight with dimmer, and the ability to wake to sound from an iPod or radio. There is also an included, compact remote control, which can control both the system and your iPod or iPhone.

The biggest downside to the SP-1 is a lack of comprehensive shielding from cell-phone signals. If your iPhone is not able to stay in 3G mode, then it will need to be placed into airplane mode (not allowing you to receive calls) to avoid interference.

For more information and pricing, check out the Satechi SP1 Curve at Amazon.

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.

There are a number of unique features included with Logitech’s iPod alarm. Regarding the alarm specifically, it is a dual alarm, which can be put into sleep mode with a wave of the hand – it is motion sensing! The alarm can wake you up to your iPod, the radio, or a buzzer.

As a full-fledged iPod dock, the Logitech Pure-Fi allows users to to insert their iPod when they get home from work. The system will charge the iPod and play songs from your device, and wake you up in the morning with your iPod ready for the day.

If you are in the market for an iPod or iPhone alarm clock, I highly recommend the Logitech Pure-Fi. This innovative and attractive docking station will make waking up a dream.
