- Reader Serge Claesen found this iPod Alarm Clock from JBL and it's pretty nice looking—the sort of thing I'd expect to see on the Pan Am flight to the space station. As someone points out in the iPod Lounge thread, there's really nothing intrinsically special about an 'iPod Alarm Clock,' since the iPod has an alarm built in. This the only reference I've seen to this unit, though, so I don't know if it's even available for sale or something that was axed in favor of other designs from JBL. Podclock accessory? |
