Is there anything that the Apple iPod can’t do? I thought i had seen all of the accessories, tools, docks and what not to go along with the world’s favourite MP3 Player but yet again i have came across something new. This time it is in the form of an alarm clock but in a cross between both the new and old age it comes in a rather cool retro look. It is the Retro iPod Alarm Clock.

As soon as you pop your iPod into this Alarm Clock/iPod Dock it immediately sets itself to clock mode so you can select whatever tune, playlist or podcast you want to wake you up, yes playlist option is there for all you deeper than deep sleepers out there. It even features a snooze function so you can attempt to drift back into that dream you didn’t want to be wakened from before the next attack of beats pounds your ear drums.

If you turn it over to the back it has a dial that you can use to change the volume, which is perfect for Sunday’s when you don’t really want to get up. You can just set the volume to low and not get up then blame the Alarm Clock for not waking you! Or if you do actually want to get up but can’t normally, then simply turn it all the way up to DANGER DANGER ! Ear Drums May Explode Mode.

A regular occurrence when using gizmo’s such as iPod’s and mobile phones as your alarm in the morning is that they run out of charge in the middle of the night. The Retro iPod Alarm Clock will also charge your iPod while it is sitting on its perch so that you never miss a meeting, a squash game or a family event (bad news if you enjoy missing family events).

With a range of colours to choose from in Classic White, Black and Pink it is suitable for both male and female and will look cool on anyones bed-side dresser.
