Is anything like this made? I poked around a few sites, but couldn't find anything.
You guys seen anything like this?

That looks perfect. But how do the speakers sound?

I tried it out in a store, and I thought they were pretty good. Just a subjective opinion. I'm thinking of getting one myself.

I went thru two of those. They seem great, look great, sound good but they're inherently flawed.
1. The buzz. Using your ipod creates a buzz through the speakers. Low but annoying.
2. No presets for radio stations. A very strange omission.
3. The line out signal is way too low.
4. The wake-up volume. When you set the iPod to wake you up it goes from zero to PEAK VOLUME in 15 seconds. You can't control the maximum volume. It goes all the way to the top automatically. When I complained about this to the company, they said "choose another song. Something softer." Ummm... ok... thanks a lot.
I hope they improve these things because they've got a lot of potential and the price is right.

Umm, all you really need are speakers...any speakers. The iPod already has an alarm clock built in. I use it all the time.
