See that alarm dock for your iPhone 4? It does nothing at all. Just holds your iPhone 4 and gives it a place to call home while you sleep or do other things. Just sits there like… Well, like a lump of wood. It comes from designer Jonas Damon and is made from beautiful beach wood.

Your iPhone is going to act as your alarm clock either way right? Might as well give it a decent spot to sit in and class up your place. It won’t charge your device, won’t pump out awesome sound, but it does come with a free app to turn your iPhone into one of those clocks with the flipping numbers.

Here’s an interesting kitchen accessory for those who spend a lot of time preparing meals. The Philips DC6210/37 flip-down kitchen clock radio lets you listen to your favorite music while you toil away over a hot stove.

Motorola’s latest handset comes in the form of the W7 Active Edition slider, featuring a built-in pedometer and personal trainer application. They don’t call it the active edition for nothing. The Motorola W7 uses simple hand gestures, taps and flicks to perform various functions.

Flip the handset over to silence the ringer during an incoming call, snooze the alarm clock or pause the music. Shake twice to start an application. Some other features of the Motorola W7 include a 2-megapixel camera and 3G.

Imagine waking up to this thing blaring out tunes. Designed by French artist Stephane Vigny, the loudspeaker clock pretty much does what you’d expect it to do. It just does it without a cuckoo bird.

When the appropriate time comes, the doors flip open, the bottom woofer extends out and music is played loudly as you are shocked awake and take a hammer to the thing. It will wake up even the deepest of sleepers. I’ve never had the pleasure of waking up to this monstrosity and already I want this concept dead.

Check out this retro Pin Art Clock. 3000 pins will tell you the time. It’s like you have Pinhead from Hellraiser trapped in a box and he’s forced to rear his head to tell you what time it is.

“Inspired by the popular Pin Art toy that uses moving pins to form the impression of one’s hand, this creation makes watching the clock a mesmerizing experience. The minutes click ahead with a sound that evokes the classic flip of the numbers at airports or train stations, combining aural ambience with visual style.”

Overclocking your DS Lite, without having to open it up or use software? The new XCM Hyper Gear case for the DS Lite not only gives your handheld a new look, it also turbocharges your DS Lite games thanks to a switch on it’s bottom right corner. Just flip it, and your DS Lite will run at 140% or 170% of its normal speed.

Seems like it won’t kill your DS, but your battery will die pretty fast. It speeds up your game’s graphics and audio, making everything seem like your DS has a coke habit. XCM expects to release the Hyper Gear case within the next few weeks. So when Mario says Wa-hoo! he’s gonna mean it this time.

Most people want to flip the bird to their alarm clock, but this clock is for those who love the sound of birds. Or maybe you live in the city and don’t get to hear very many bird calls. For whatever reason, some of you may want to be woken up by the soothing sounds of birds. And that’s what this clock is all about.

The Singing Bird Alarm Clock wakes you each morning with your choice of bird call. You’ll think you are a baby chick in a nest for a few groggy seconds in the morning. It’s portable and runs on 3 AAA batteries. You can buy different bird call cards that go with the clock for $10.50 each if you get sick of the originals. You can even buy a frog call card, for some reason. Not for me thank you. I have birds that already wake me up with their yakking outside. But if you want to be one with nature, it costs $39.95.

Nokia is yet again going stylish on us with a freshly unveiled 3G flip mobile phone. The Nokia 6555 is looking hip and ready to let you make your first call.

Nokia says the 6555 is the first WCDMA phone with a “smooth-back fold design.” All we have to say is this phone is hot, especially with the analog timepiece on the front. The 6555 sports a generous, colorful 240×320 internal display screen. A built-in camera provides 6x digital zoom and offers a self-portrait mode with video sharing ability.

A uniquely exposed design was given to the Bomba alarm clock by Dutch designer Will Vanden Vos, showing off all the gears and inner workings that run, like clockwork I guess. The design features the retro-style flip cards to change the displayed numbers like many very early electric alarm clocks used to have. Some light blue LED lights on each side make the numbers readable at night and a simple dial on the side lets you set the approximate time you would like the alarm to sound.

The old-school use of the flip card numbers and …

Since the first flip phone came out in the early 90′s mobile phones just haven’t been the same, and it just wouldn’t be right if the Brick passed up reporting on this retro style 1980′s cell phone. A brick can mean a number of different things; solid and reliable, some gadget rendered useless by time or technology and of course a great big heavy cell phone that makes you taste pennies and forget your name after more than 15 minutes of continuous use.

The 80′s Brick Cell Phone model FY8850 is an actually working mobile …
