This product seems to be the result of an excellent idea, but implemented on a shoe string. Fortunately they saved the R&D budget on the minor things and spent the money where it matters. Sound quality is very good for its size and more than adequate for a clock radio. Design & build quality is excellent. So good in fact that I'm considering buying three more for the other bedrooms and another one for the kitchen. It's solid, heavy and you could be forgiven for thinking it had been designed by Apple themselves.
It has dual alarms which will wake you up to either your favourite radio station (capacity for 4 preset channels), your iPod playlist, or a buzzer. Customisable snooze and sleep modes and a very attractive display.
The menu system is reminiscent of the iPod Mini but not as cognitive and that's where this bit of kit is spoilt. Tuning the radio is a chore with no auto tune and what's more, the you need to rotate the shiny jog-wheel hundreds of times to advance through the frequencies.
Don't be put off though. The peeves in this product are pretty much confined to the setup rather than the daily use and once you've spent an hour setting it up for the first time, it's a very nice bit of kit indeed.
If you're in the market for iPod/Clock radio, I'm not sure that there's anything better on the market today... Certainly not for this kind of money.
