The iHome iA91 App-Enhanced Dual Alarm Stereo Clock Radio for iPhone/iPod with AM/FM Presets packs a host of new features into a more nightstand friendly design

iHome just announced the new iA91 Alarm clock. It's an app-enhanced dual alarm clock that's designed specifically for Apple's iPhone and iPod. It has AM/FM presets, and full app-enhanced functionality for use with the free iHome+Sleep App and iHome+Radio.

The iA91 can charge, play and help you wake to iPhone/iPod custom playlists or AM/FM radio. It includes a remote, time sync, and twin passive subwoofers for enhanced bass response.

I played with one a couple of days ago, and the bass sounds like "Bose Wave"-like sound, all for a fraction of the cost at $99. Trebles are crisp and snappy, and the App-integrated functionality is a very cool feature that will have you playing around with this thing for hours. It has dual alarms, 7-5-2 alarm settings, programmable snooze, gradual wake and even a sleep volume setting.Read more

I have always liked Moshi's voice control alarm clocks, partly because I can yell at them and they will actually do what I say, but I also like that I can turn off the nagging alarm by just saying "turn off the alarm" – no more fumbling in my half-awake state for the right button.

Today Moshi announced the new Moshi Voice Control Reflection Clock, available exclusively at Brookstone. Using just your voice, you can set the time, set the alarm, snooze, ask for indoor and outdoor temperature and record up to an 8 minute memo.

Like all Moshi alarm clocks, the Reflection Clock recognizes your voice commands without any setup, thanks to Technology That Listens. The Reflection Clock features dual alarms, an automatic 9-minute snooze, custom alarm sounds, a choice of 6 nightlight colors, and an LCD display with adjustable brightness. Read more

Who needs a clock radio when you can have a clock audio system? Yamaha has a new desktop audio system with IntelliAlarm, which wakes you up with a soft fade in of music, first filtering out high frequencies, and then gradually restoring the full audio spectrum before it starts beeping.

The TSX-140 is an iPod dock too, compatible with the iPod touch and iPhone (3G/3GS/4). It can also play MP3 and WMA files stored on a USB stick, as well as FM/AM radio. Featuring twin 3½–inch bass reflex speakers and digital amplifiers, the TSX-140 boasts Yamaha's own Concert Quality Sound and Extended Stereo.

A USB mini-B connector is included for iPod/iPhone syncing, and three front panel controls give access to source, volume, radio presets, alarm clock and equalizer functions. It also has a brightness sensor which adjusts all display LEDs to suit the ambient light level.

The Yamaha TSX-140 is now available in black, brick and gray for $399.95.

November 7th marks the end of Daylight Savings Time. Before going to bed this evening, don't forget to set your clock back one hour! While you may be grateful for that extra hour of sleep on Sunday morning, when Monday rolls around (and its pitch black outside), you may want to throw the covers over your head and catch a few more ZZZ’s. There is a new product from Philips that can help get you out of bed easier– the Wake-up Light.

Philips developed the Wake-up Light because, let's face it…most people feel more energetic during the summer when the sun is shining bright. The Wake-up Light is a natural alarm clock that gradually wakes you up using light that simulates true sunlight – making wake-up time a smooth, non-jarring process and helping you wake-up better and feel more energetic throughout the day. In fact, the Philips Wake-up Light is an official light therapy product of the National Sleep Foundation! Read more
