Several of the new iPhone docking alarm clocks that I have seen hit the market lately share something in common. Many of them are now sporting dual charge docks. This is a good thing since many homes now have more than one iPod or iPhone vying for that charge dock. The iLuv iMM183 unveiled today is another dual docking alarm clock with some cool features.

Perhaps the most interesting of the features aside from the dual cocks is the integrated weather band radio also with an alert system that puts weather warnings on the front of the clock. The device uses SAME technology to receive local weather info.

I have never had a problem getting out of bed in the morning, my wife on the other hand is worse than my kids. For people who don’t wake up well, Philips has unveiled a new alarm clock called the Wake-up Light.

The clock has a traditional alarm built in and the iPod docking model can wake you to music from your playlist, FM radio, or different nature sounds. The big feature of the device is the light that simulates a sunrise.

Alarm clocks are great for waking you up, but the problem is that they tend to wake your spouse up as well. That might not be a problem, but your spouse may have a different schedule. The Shake and Wake Alarm Clock is a good solution.

It wakes you up by vibrating. Just strap it on your wrist or put it under the pillow. Or uh, elsewhere for a great wake up. Your partner will never know and you will be awake and ready to start your day.

I have seen several iPod/iPhone alarm clocks hit the streets over the last few weeks. A few of them are now sporting dual docks to keep more than one Apple device charged up. Sanyo has jumped into the iPod alarm clock action with a couple new devices today including the DMP-P1 Cube Alarm Clock Radio and the DMP-692 Dual dock music System.

The DMP-692 is one of those snazzy new dual dock devices that can charge your iPhone and your iPod at the same time. The clock has three alarms and can wake you to a buzzer, AM/FM radio, or your favorite playlist. The radio also has an auxiliary input for CD palyers and non-dockable PMPs. A remote controller is included as well.

We’ve seen many a clock around here, many are pretty sophisticated or feature clever design. But sometimes you just need a big ass bell to wake you from dreamland. No fancy design, no clever features. Just a big and loud bell.

That’s what the Bell Alarm Clock from designer Sam Hecht is all about. It’s a combination of a modern clock, with an old fashioned bell that will yank you awake and ring your bell first thing everyday. And you can pay $65 for the privilege. The Bell Alarm Clock is available in red, black and white.

We’re used to seeing alarm clocks, digital photo frames, and iPod/iPhone docks that are boring and simple. But lately manufacturers have been delivering some more elegant products. Like the upcoming ICF-CL75iP, which features a crisp 7 inch color WVGA (800 x 480) LCD, 1GB of built-in storage, and a retractable iPod/iPhone dock.

The photos on the screen can be pulled from your iPod or iPhone, or loaded onto the unit via USB. Of course, you can also store and play music and movies (MP4, Motion JPEG and AVI) on the device. They also threw in an FM/AM radio with 39 presets.

This USB hub doubles as an alarm clock, which could be a good thing if you have a desk job that has you falling asleep at the computer. Just set it to go off when you want to wake up and pretend you’re busy. It has 4 USB 2.0 ports that can be rotated 90 degrees.

Some other features include a transfer rate of up to 480Mbps and the alarm clock has a calendar, built in clock and an alarm function that plays 5 tunes. It’s an odd combination for sure and comes in orange, green and blue.

You’ve experienced Flashdance. You were enthralled by Riverdance. You were captivated by dancing with the stars. Now experience the latest dance sensation. The dancefloor: Your alarm clock. The dancers: Your fingers.

It’s time to dress up your digits and have your friends judge the dance routines as you take your clock by storm with the Finger Dance Alarm Clock. This clock will keep ringing unless your fingers are able to hit the correct sequence as depicted by the lights.

I can’t think of a geekier way to wake up. Vader should have had the time displayed on his eyes in this fashion throughout all the movies, just to be helpful to others. Because I don’t remember seeing many clocks in the Star Wars universe. In fact, don’t let Lucas see this, or he just might re-edit the whole damn series to include such a thing.

For $30 you’ll get an AM/FM radio and Vader’s head will also act as a speaker for your digital audio player. It’s pretty cool, but what I was really hoping for was to wake up to Vader’s breathing.

We’ve seen many alarm clocks that will wake you up in unusual ways. The Wake n’ Bacon clock comes to mind. That’s because we need some incentive to wake up. Whether you have a hangover or are just dead tired, you need a clock that makes a statement.

Something that says, Get your ass up or I’ll blow you to bits. That’s what this Dynamite alarm clock does. Wake up every morning and defuse a bomb. And because some of you actually need to be told, this is not the alarm you should take with you while traveling. The manufacturer also advises that you not leave the clock anywhere that it might be mistaken for a real bomb.

The latest conceptual iPod dock is called the E-Pod Dock and has a lot of functionality. It’s compatible with your iPhone, iPod touch and iPod classic and functions as a speaker, movie projector and an alarm clock.

Forget its compact size, it will offer you quality hi-fidelity audio. Quite a device. As long as we’re dreaming, how about if it tweets everything you are watching and listening to. One thing is for sure, it would look good on any late night talk show host’s desk.

Alarm clocks are noisy because noise is the one thing you can’t stand in the morning. It works so good that the alarm has remained basically the same for years. What else could possibly entice you to get up and face your day? Maybe you’d be more apt to wake up for a well rounded breakfast.

That’s the thinking behind this French designed alarm clock. Instead of waking aggravated and hitting the snooze button, you’ll wake up to a glass of OJ. Just set the alarm, choose your breakfast and go to sleep. When you wake up, you’ll have a breakfast all ready for you.

There are lots of reasons to put hidden cameras in your home from the legitimate use of keeping an eye on your kids to the more nefarious spying on other people in the home without their knowledge. Whatever the reason you want to put hidden cameras in your home this new clock radio camera with built-in DVR is not cheap.

The device retails for $499 on sale and has a high resolution, low lux camera that records to a removable 8GB SD card. The device features motion activated recording and records in MPEG-4 mode and can snap Jpeg images for a longer recording time. Images and video can be stamped with the time and date.

This old school retro TV looking thing is actually an alarm clock that will wake you up with classic game show themes and color changing text patterns. Luckily it includes a remote so you can shut it off quickly. It doesn’t say which game show themes it plays, but rest assured they are going to be annoying.

Just imagine waking up to the Price Is Right theme. Or not waking up and having that music influence your dreams. You’d be stuck in a nightmare gameshow void. “Come on down! You’re the next contestant on ‘Let’s Wake Up To a Crap-gadget’.” No whammies. No Whammies. Stop! I’d like to buy a vowel. I’ll take “Really pissed off and not ready for work” for $600 Alex. And so on.

Meet the Room Tech Beingz Alarm Clock, and Mood Lamp. They’re buddies who collaborate and wake you as a team. The clock’s feet light up, the it opens it’s mouth wide to sound off in one of three different noises to wake you up. It will also move its arms up and down if you don’t get up. It will even play music and do a little dance to the tunes, .so it isn’t completely annoying.

The mood lamp is a bit more calm, with four different brightness settings depending on your mood. It too will dance, and respond to your touch. They sport a very cool retro look, with a modern twist. The pair can even communicate with one another if they’re within 15 feet. The Alarm Clock can get the Lamp to turn on it’s brightest setting. That added with the noise should get you up and make you hate them day after day.
