iHome ZN9 is the World's First Zune Alarm Clock Radio

It's pretty amazing that no one's made an alarm clock radio for the Zune yet—it's been out for a year and a half already—but iHome's stepped up to the plate. The ZN9 has dual alarms, separate weekday/weekend times, backlit LCD, and of course a Zune dock. It's similar in functionality to this other iHome alarm clock we're currently testing, but this one's got an Xbox 360-like tapered case. $99 for the Microsoft fan in July. [iHome]

Radio to MP3 Recorder Looks Old-Style, Has Docking MP3 Player

While yesterday's radio-to-MP3 recorder reminded us of a modern Chumby, this one's style cues are more last decade. It's basically a digital-tuner radio, with FM, AM and short wave reception, but with a built-in, un-dockable portable MP3 player that can record to its own 256MB memory. More »

JWD Media-Playing Alarm With Radio, Chumby for Cheapos?

This little box from JWD does pack in a fair number of functions: 2-inch 220 x 176 TFT screen, built-in lithium battery, speakers, 1GB of memory, MP3, WMA and MP4 playback, FM radio and alarm clock. It can even record the radio or a line-in audio source, and has an SD slot for expansion. It doesn't have a touchscreen or Wi-Fi, but this Chumbyesque device is at least fairly reasonably priced: $88 for one, with discounts if you buy in bulk. [Shopkami via Chipchick]

High School Musical iPod Clock/Radio and LCD TV Make You Jealous of Little Kids

The smartest way to produce cool-looking electronics is to hire someone who already knows how, someone from frog design, for instance. Disney's electronics team is helmed by two former froggers, Chris Heatherly and John Guerra, and they've started turning some wild designs into hardware realities. The High School Musical Clock Radio above probably won't outblast other iPod docks on the market, but has a totally original look, and only costs $60. It should be hitting Toys"R"Us stores in October, in case you want to go in and buy one—I mean you know, for your kid sister. There's a matching LCD TV that may actually be even cooler than the iPod dock. Take a look... More »

Sony Clock Radio has Integrated Spy Cam

Got the voyeur itch? Scratch it with this Sony-branded clock radio that has been modified to include a full-color camera and microphone. The camera and microphone are attached to a wireless transmitter that can shoot the information to a receiver up to 100 meters away for viewing and listening. The clock radio itself isn't too shabby, with an AM/FM, a CD player and shuffle function. Don't be too paranoid—this spy device comes with a hefty $2,000-plus price tag. –Travis Hudson More »

A Clock in a Radio


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. More »

Plus Minus Zero Minimalist Clock Radio

From the same folks that brought you the aromatherapy donut, is this very minimalistic CD radio. From the outside it seems that this clock radio just has a CD slot and OLED display, and I can't figure out if this concept radio will have everything controlled by remote control or black magic because the website is just filled with artsy-fartsy talk. No, seriously, look:
Music − it soothes the soul and enriches our lives. It's something that's an inherent part of our lives. But the audio systems around us which we use to play beautiful, enjoyable music on have no soul − they're just machines.
And that is just the beginning. –Travis Hudson More »

ezWake Alarm Clock Radio: 22-Key Remote, Nothing On

The ezWake alarm clock radio looks fairly conventional until you take a close look at its 22-key remote control, giving you plenty of say-so over what happens from a distance with the diminutive $99 radio. Its universal dock connector accommodates your iPod or you can also plug in auxiliary audio as well. More »

XtremeMac Luna Clock Radio: Packed with Customizable Features

The XtremeMac Luna clock radio lets you plug in your iPod via its dock connector, and then gradually fades down its music or your favorite radio station as you drift off to sleep, fading back up the next morning to wake you up. We're liking its ergonomic multifunction knobs that are easy to control in the dark, independent bass and treble controls and the ability to dim the display from completely off to full intensity.

Alarm Clock for Pharmaceutical Salespeople?

If getting up in the morning is a bitter pill to swallow, you might need some help from this pill alarm clock radio, a design concept from the Pascal Bardel Product Design Lounge. To adjust the volume or turn off the alarm, you rotate the clock. It's 5.5 inches long and was designed in a variety of colors. As far as we can tell it's just a prototype so far, but if it's ever actually manufactured it certainly won't be a favorite of the just say no /DARE crowd. More »

Memory Ball Alarm and Radio


The Memory Ball Alarm and Radio from Uncommon Goods lets you change stations by moving a metal ball onto different sections of the grid on top. You can program nine FM stations and nine AM stations on its grid, and it either uses batteries or you can plug it in. Now if they could just goose this thing up with satellite radio, it would have our undivided attention. More »

Teac SL-D900 CD Player/Clock Radio


Teac Japan goes retro with the SL-D900 CD player/clock radio, available in six colors for $210. Its best feature is the USB port where you can plug in your thumb drive and play MP3s. It hopefully sounds good, too, with its 2.1 speaker system with built-in sub. It's cranking out 15 watts—not bad for a clock radio. Available now in Japan; no word whether or when we'll get it here in the states (but keep an eye on a Sky Mall catalog near you). More »

Bang & Olufsen Clock Radio d'Art

I had to look at this product for a few minutes, then ask the guy at the store what it was before I figured out the new BeoSound 3 is a clock radio with FM tuner and SD card reader to play the rest of your digital music. No wires on this baby, it runs off a rechargeable battery and is encased in an anodized aluminum cabinet. Let me say that again for all you materials design fetishists: anodized aluminum. The time shows through the top part of the grill and there is a handle in case you want to drag your most expensive clock radio around. All the controls are on the top too. The motorized antenna rises automatically when the radio is turned on (but there is no AM, so you can forget about Air America and baseball games). B&O even included a wall bracket so you can hang this on the wall next to your velvet Elvis with the teardrop painting. Just $850, available this month.

Memory Ball Alarm and Radio

This has to be the weirdest clock radio I've ever seen. See, at each intersection of the quilted grid on top of the radio, is actually a preset radio station. You change the station by rolling the magnetized ball to another grid intersection. What, pressing buttons wasn't good enough? What happens if you lose the ball? Can you get a replacement? I guess it does look kinda cool, and the concept sounds interesting enough, but this sounds more like an executive toy than anything really useful. More »
