The main purpose of a clock radio is to wake you up so you can get where you’re going, but with this new clock radio and your iPad, you may not want to leave the bedroom!
The new iA100 iPad-docking clock radio from iHome can do just about everything except make coffee! Besides the obvious clock radio functions, the iA100 plays and charges both iPads and iPhones, doubles as a hands-free speakerphone with built-in microphone to answer and place calls with the iPhone and streams music via Bluetooth from a PC, cellphone or portable audio device.
The FM radio comes equipped with 10 station presets, four active speakers and dual alarms. Add the $1.99 iHome+Radio app and you can use RadioTime’s guide to stream more than 20,000 Internet radio stations. The free iHome+Sleep app allows use of functions including weather widgets, a morning recap of the user’s overnight social-networking feeds, and customizable user-defined bedtime/ snooze/wakeup cycles. It also lets you falls asleep to your favorite Internet radio station. The iHome iPad Docking Clock Radio will be available in September for $199.
