Funny thing is I was just thinking about what the best tech'd out alarm clock options are out there. I mean I know I could buy a dedicated iPhone for an "alarm clock" Or a 65 inch lcd but I'm talking about the realm of what the alarm clock should only do. For 169$ it's too much for me. I'd spend maybe 99$ on a tricked out "alarm clock". Maybe.

I guess that's a dedicated iPhone/iPod now isn't it...?]]>Jun 21st 2010 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/insignias-infocast-internet-media-display-the-dash-aping-chumb/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/insignias-infocast-internet-media-display-the-dash-aping-chumb/Agreed. You might as well get an iPod touch with a stand. It`s an alarm clock you can take out the door with you. Plus it doubles as a skype phone.]]>Jun 21st 2010 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/insignias-infocast-internet-media-display-the-dash-aping-chumb/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/insignias-infocast-internet-media-display-the-dash-aping-chumb/

I was able to see media servers on the network, did not try anything with pictures.

Nice UI, I like it better then the Chumby's
The unit looks better in person. the black plastic look cheesy in the picture above, but I think it looks good in real like. Yes, the bezel is a tad large, but not too bad; they pull it off well. ]]>Jun 22nd 2010 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/insignias-infocast-internet-media-display-the-dash-aping-chumb/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/insignias-infocast-internet-media-display-the-dash-aping-chumb/Glad you like it! They did do a decent job.Too bad it is sold at BB though :)
