Amazing Ipod Alarm Clock July 18, 2008 I'm a very frugal shopper and been taking my time looking for a couple of years to find an alarm clock I really like. I've been oogling over those wide sleek alarm clocks out in the market but I just don't have the surface space on my side table next to my bed for any of those. This Timex alarm isn't as mod stylish as those wide low ones, but it has the smallest footprint for what it can offer. Feature wise it completely surpassed any expectations I had. Beyond the alarm and ipod compatibility, it's practically designed. Love where the buzzer is located on the bottom away from anything else you could accidentally fumble and accidently push and that it doubles as a dimmer. Several of the buttons have multiple purposes but it's not confusing. And the sound quality's pretty good for an alarm clock.

Thanks to those who mentioned the dimmer feature, I now have an alarm clock I don't have to throw a towel over!
This product is garbage June 17, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have owned this clock for about 4 months, and the first 3 were just fine. After that, it stopped working properly with my ipod. Nothing I did fixed the fact that I could no longer wake to my ipod. To add to that, its buttons have recently changed operation (eg. the "set alarm" button now changes the display's brightness, the snooze button does not function). I would highly suggest purchasing a different product if you plan on using your ipod in this clock with frequency.
AWESOME Alarm Clock! June 14, 2008 I searched high and low for an iPod Alarm Clock for my husband for his birthday. So many got mixed reviews, I was a little anxious picking up a tech gadget for him by myself. But this one is awesome. It is compact, sounds great, has multi back light setting (important since I did not want a mini light on while sleeping), works perfect for charging, using the iPod, has dual alarms, a cool fun remote remote (not needed but still fun, different choice for alarm...radio, beep or iPod. I am paid a little more than the $50 ones found everywhere in stores...but it is wort it! Very happy!
Fantastic iPOD alarm clock June 5, 2008 Thanks to the positive reviews here on Amazon, I bought this product and its great. The most important feature was that the backlight can be turned up or down or completely off, which was great for me since I am very sensitive to light when I sleep. The alarm can be set to wake up with music from your iPOD (I have a 2nd generation Nano), which goes to the last song you were listening to (so I typically will set it at night). It comes with adapters for the various other kinds of iPODs also. It has two alarms, and I am still not clear on how to turn them off and on (I just keep clicking the alarm button until I get the desired alarms on). It has a snooze button too, but I don't use it. The sound quality is good enough for me and the handy remote makes it easy to control as a mini stereo system.
