Those crazy inventors over at Sony have done it again! Somehow (the real method is a closely guarded trade secret) engineers have combined the best parts of a clock (telling time) with the most useful parts of a radio (playing the radio). The resulting product is something we're absolutely first to call a radio clock.

But before you go ahead and throw out your trusty bedside friends, we want you to know that Sony PR has not returned our emails as to whether or not the cladio is capable of showing times other than their proprietary noon and midnight hours. Should this problem indeed exist, numerous subsequent firmware updates will may probably won't fix the issue. – Mark Wilson
