Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The iP28 is perfect for music lovers on the move. Dock your iPhone/iPod and wake, sleep, or just listen to your music through a great-sounding system that utilizes iHome's Reson8 speaker technology and EXB expanded-bass circuitry. The iP28 can also operate on 4 AA batteries, for music anywhere--just throw it in the included carry bag and take it along.
Universal iPod Dock
Listen to your favorite iPod content from most docking iPod models. The iP28 charges your iPod while you enjoy it, so it's always ready to go when you are.
Wake or Sleep to iPod
Start or end your day with your favorite music from a docked iPod. If there is a power outage or the iP28 is accidentally unplugged, you'll still make your appointments--just install a backup battery and you're set.
Gradual Wake and Gradual Sleep
The "gentle waking" feature gradually fades in the alarm, so it doesn't jar you out of sleep. The sleep function does the same, with a gradual decrease so you can keep drifting off.
Quality Sound
The iP28 delivers great sound with four stereo neodymium drivers (two active, two passive) in Reson8 speaker chambers. Reson8 is iHome's through-body ported speaker chamber technology. Porting speakers gives better bass response characteristics and helps the iP28 deliver sound beyond its size.
For a little extra "oomph," EXB sound enhancement provides expanded-bass circuitry for a hefty low-end boost.
Serious Portability
The iP28 can be powered by four AA batteries, so you can take it most anywhere--thanks to the 100/240 VAC switching power supply--and that means most countries, too. Pack it up with confidence using the included carry bag. Just fold down the speakers, and you're good to go.
Line-in Jack
A rear auxiliary input lets you connect and listen to any audio source, such as MP3 or CD players, for playing through the iP28's speaker.
What's in the Box
iP28 System, dock Inserts, universal voltage AC adapter, and carrying case.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
GOOD/GOOD TO KNOW: Alarm has a gradual wake-up feature -- sound starts soft, and then gradually increases to the full volume over about 30 seconds.
When unfolded, the unit is about the size of a hardback book (see my additional user photos).
You have to set the volume you want on the unit before triggering the alarm. I set it to 37 because I heard a little distortion at the max (level 40).
The sound quality is very good.
AC adapter works overseas (w/the appropriate country converter, not included).
Unit charges the ipod when the AC adapter is plugged in. It does not charge when it's operating on battery power (4 AAs).
Snooze lasts for 9 minutes.
Included lithium cell battery for the clock face is secured in a separate chamber within one of the AA battery chambers (pretty well-hidden -- good if you have small children who may try to eat the battery).
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT: The blinking "low backup battery" signal on the bottom left of the unit is rather annoying.
The max volume isn't very loud, even with the EXB boost feature on.
You can't change songs on the ipod through the unit, you can only play, pause, and adjust volume.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
We wanted an iPod dock that would work as an alarm clock and charge the iPod, so we selected the Altec Lansing Octiv Mini Speaker System for iPhone and iPod (Black). However, that did not meet our needs at all and we were very disappointed. What made this unit stand out for us is the fact that you can use the alarm/clock without the iPod being docked. It even has an optional snooze like many alarm clocks. It is set for 9 minutes and cannot be altered. As I've had alarm clock radios with a set snooze before, this didn't bother me.
Pros
1) ALARM works independently of the ipod. Wake to music from a docked iPod, or a buzzer.
2) SOUND QUALITY is very good for this type of item; much better than the Altec unit we tried. I would use this at parties to provide music.
3) VOLUME control from the dock, and not just the iPod.
4) ADAPTERS, Comes with three to hold several generations of iPods/iPhones.
5) PORTABLE. The unit folds in half and has a padded sleeve to carry it in. We won't travel with it, but it's a nice option.
6) BACK-UP battery like most alarm clocks for possible power outage. Or, can be powered by AA batteries if you travel with no outlet available.
7) TIMER to turn off music after a set time.
8) SLEEK design, classic black color.
Cons
1) DISPLAY for clock is way too bright. Four settings: high, medium, low and off. It's backlit so the low setting is still very bright. But, when it's off you cannot read the clock display at night. We have a beacon of blue on our ceiling; I'm worried aliens have come to carry me away!
2) NO headphone jack.
3) SIZE is significantly larger than a regular alarm clock so it takes up a lot of space on a nightstand.
4) Like another reviewer, we also noticed the "battery low" indicator is always on even though the back-up battery is brand new.
Overall, though this is a bit pricey, it's worth the cost to us. The pros far outweigh the cons, and the most important features we wanted are well done. Highly recommended.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I wanted to love the iP28. But I've been using it for 24 hours and have been both impressed and confused / disappointed.
PROS
+ Very compact and lightweight.
+ Sound surprisingly full.
+ Easy to set up.
+ Packaging was truly frustration free and minimalistic, little extra waste.
CONS
+ Doesn't integrate with the iHome app. I expected them to work together.
+ Because it won't work the the app, the alarm is only a buzzer instead of playing my music.
+ Using the iPhone 4, none of the dock inserts work. It still docks, MOST of the time.
+ Most of the time, it doesn't, but occasionally the incompatibility message pops up (with the iPhone 4)
When it works, it's great. It you are using another product (iPhone 3G, 3GS, ipod nano or older touch...) it may work better for you.

Perfectly purpose-built
This sounds bigger than it is, by a fair margin. It sounds best when it's plugged in naturally; on battery power, you lose a few db and it distorts if you try to crank it back up. Read more

Nice One - Test
This baby packs a mean punch. It is small but the sound quality is epic. The button layout is smooth and it is ultra portable. Nice!

Really enjoy this
I really enjoy this. The sound is loud enough for me but I can see how it would be too quiet for some. I haven't tried the battery option. Overall I like it. No radio though.
