Memorex iWake Clock Radio for iPod

MSRP: $79.99

If you can forgive the tinny sound, the Memorex iWake dock/alarm clock combo for iPod offers iPod playback and a stylish design on the cheap.

Review date: May 30, 2008

Just in time for graduation season, Memorex has released its iWake Clock Radio for iPod in three new colors: purple, red, and blue. While audiophiles won’t accept its tinny sound quality, its sleek design, fun color palette, and low cost will definitely appeal to college-bound students, and its loud alarm clock will be sure to get them up in time for class. The iWake’s Simple Design When it originally debuted two years ago, the iWake was available in only black and white; its new, bright color options are available only at Target stores. Our test unit was purple with a white bezel and speakers and a metallic purple top, LCD, and accents. At 10 inches long and almost 5 inches deep, the iWake has a larger footprint than many alarm clocks.

ProsCons
  • Minimalist design
  • Easy to use
  • Fun color options
  • Tinny sound quality
  • Alarms become too loud too quickly
  • No seek buttons for radio tuning
  • Doesn’t work with the iPhone
