Need a bit more than a regular alarm to get you up in the morning? Then you might just be a prime candidate for iLuv's new iMM178 Vibe Plus iPod dock / alarm clock, which will not only let you wake up to a favorite track, but shake your bed in the process. Of course, "shake" is likely a bit of an overstatement, but the bed shaker attachment (placed under a pillow) does have its own speaker and volume control, and promises to "wake up the heaviest of sleepers." Otherwise, the dock is pretty standard fare, and includes a large LCD display, dual alarm settings, an FM radio, and a pair of jAura speakers that promise added "depth and clarity." Look for this one at all the usual sources right now for $89.99.
Alarm clocks are the last things that shake my bed. . .
bed shaker? Sounds HOT....
@Alexster404 I don't think it sounds hot to our fellow men/women down in Chile, though.
@inimicus I can "feel" the vibrating jokes queuing up. Go!
My girlfriend calls me that.
@Nitesh ...and then she asks when you'll actually do her.
@aubreyq I meant iMM178, you sicko.
This can replace my wifes "back Massager" right?
ahuh bed shaker?
"The new iLuv iMM178 Vibe Plus iPod dock / alarm clock. Turn your dreams into nightmare's of earthquakes"
@inimicus fersure that video is wack. this is more of a crap gadget to me. i can see numerous puns at this bedshaker theme but i still dont buy into it. Ive seen enough crapgadgettes in this day and age to know which is a good seller and which is a flop. this one is a flop. dont expect this to go anywhere. the item is rediculous. noone wants a cord attatched to there alarmclock under there pillow with their precious iphoen docked in it. it could easily get pulled and well u got it. make the iphone a brokegadget. =[ looks like a deathtrap for the iphone
If only it worked as a speaker phone for the iphone
@Extinction: I think I have enough issues with my iPhone's call quality and reception without having people hear me talk to them through a pillow as well.
@inimicus
My girl and I manage to do the same nightly without a compressor's assistance. Giggity.
@inimicus
Finally something that will be able to get my lazy ass off the bed!

Hey this is perfect for my username!
I find the vibrate under the pillow works well enough to piss me off, but why have that when I can blow nearly a Benjamin on this?
If you use the iLuv bed shaker with Sleep Cycle app (which is made to detect shaking - http://www.lexwarelabs.com/sleepcycle/) you would tear a hole in the space-time continuum.
"Guaranteed to wake her up.. and the neighbors 7-10 minutes later"
@inimicus
And for all those years, I thought my neighbors were just making babies.
Gadget Show in the UK did a review of one on TV:

this should be tagged apple, asshats ;/
This feature has been around for the last 10 years for deaf people when there at home if there is a fire.
Fpht. Save your money. For those poor souls (like me) who sleep like the dead AND have problems getting out of bed between 7 am and 2 pm, there's a cheaper, and probably more effective, solution:
Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/lights/8f1a/
It so effective, it also wakes everyone else in my apartment tower...including people on the other side of the wall...
