Definitely looking forward to reading the reviews of this. So far the various iPod alarm clocks have had one flaw or other that kept them from being a perfect solution...... i.e. I found the $99 iHome iH5 to be pretty solid overall, but the radio reception was pretty bad. With the JBL On Time, the main problems are probably the weird angle that the display is at, and a pretty high price (although the JBL On Time makes up for in sound quality and design). I've been really waiting to find an alarm clock to replace my old Timex CD/clock radio, and hope this one might be it. If this is a solid alarm clock and speaker system, $150 seems pretty reasonable to me, compared to the $99 for the iHome iH5.
