Rockridge Sound's iSR-01 "luxury" iPod alarm clock

Surprise your guests when you tell them this gem isn't from a thrift store and that it actually plays an iPod, not cassettes. Rockridge Sound busts out yet another iPod clock / dock option, this time with 2.1-channel audio, alarm clock function, and AM / FM tuner. Although the specs aren't exactly eye-popping, it seems Rockridge is pushing the iSR-01's "luxurious" wood finish and quasi-analog hark-back design -- after all, the product page screams "MODERN & LUXURY" in huge all-caps letters. This gigantor unit supports third, fourth, and fifth gen iPods, minis, first and second gen nanos, is powered by an AC adapter or 2 AAA batteries, and they've included a remote in case you need to control functions while admiring all that luxury from afar. There's no mention of cost, but for some reason, we're banking on a heavy price tag.

ok, when is the next apple "event" I'm dying to get rid of my video iPod for a widescreen one.

How could this thing have even mildly powerful speakers or a decent amplifier (to justify the high price you expect) and run of 2 AAA batteries. Something is not right.

I agree, the industry seems addicted to sticking AAAs into everything, even when there's ample room for more worthwhile batteries.

The batteries are used to keep the clock functions operating in case of a power outage. It's a standard feature on most clock radios.

I love it how foreign countries think english is so trendy and will do anything in their power to use it.

It looks like a POS

It looks like it wants to be a Tivoli radio.

That iPod looks to be at just the right angle to get snapped in half when it wakes me on a Monday morning. :-)

The ipod is docked where the snooze button is. Bad idea!

hmmm... sleek, white iPod in large, clunky faux wood box.
