4.0 out of 5 stars Not a lot of info out there, let me help, October 20, 2009

I saw this for sale at a local store, so I thought I would do some digging for information. Unfortunately, there is almost zero. It doesn't say it anywhere online or on the box, but this will indeed charge your iPhone 3G. It's possible that they did not want to pay for licensing. Since it will charge the 3G, it should charge all of the new non-firewire iPods (Nano 5G, etc).

It's nice and compact, but certainly sturdy. Once you take a leaf through the instruction manual, it's very easy to use. Not one of those things I recommend to start pushing buttons feet-first, because you'll probably be woken up at 2:30am by accident.

What else can I say about it? It charges my iPhone, plays pretty well (a 5.1 system this isn't), has an aux-in for a Zune, etc, has dual-alarms with 3-4 different options each. If you're looking for a cheap replacement for your firewire-charging alarm clock, this is a good choice.

This item is great. It fits good on a night table and doesnt take up much space. The only issue is that you must remove the black plastic piece that surrounds the mounting jack and replace it with the one your IPOD came with. If you dont have that piece the IPOD may not seat right and it wont work. Once we figured it out it started working.

This alarm clock is easy to operate with buttons that make sense and are easy to press even when half-asleep. Also, it is one of the only ones out there that has the numbers light up, not the whole background, so you can see the time but the light doesn't keep you awake. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the one I bought died after 24 hours and I had to send it back to the manufacturer. However, they sent me a new one in return, so despite the inconvenience I guess I can't complain. It was worth the wait. Loving it! It looks great too.
