Amazon.com Product Description:The iHome iH26B Portable Travel Alarm Clock for iPod and iPod Shuffle (Black) is the perfect portable alarm clock for when you are on the go with your iPod and iPod shuffle. This unit comes with a carrying case with a handle to protect both itself and your iPods during your travels, and lets you not only listen to the music on your iPods, but fall asleep and wake up to it as well.
The iHome iH26B lets you listen to your music while charging your iPod and iPod shuffle simultaneously by docking them in the portable alarm clock station. The alarm clock station features a portable, low-profile design that can easily go anywhere you do, and an auxiliary line-in jack with a patch cord for hooking up other MP3 players or audio devices. This unit wakes you up to your own gently increasing music, unless none is detected from your iPod in which case a buzzer will sound, and features an alarm reset function that shuts off the alarm while automatically resetting it for the same time the following day. The sleep timer function is programmable for a 90, 60, 30, or 15-minute countdown, and even features an adjustable sleep volume that lets you select a comfortable sleep volume level without affecting the wake-to or listening volume levels. The iH26B also comes with a remote control (battery included) that lets you control all its major functions from a convenient distance.
The iHome iH26B uses two stereo neodymium micro driver speakers to provide clear sound across all volume levels. Not only are the alarm and time settings easy to adjust, but has a travel lock feature that maintains your settings so that the time is automatically set as soon as you plug it in, and keeps the unit from accidentally powering on in order to save battery life. The iH26B has a multifunctional LCD display with an adjustable white backlight, and is settable to both 12 and 24-hour operating modes. This alarm clock includes extra convenience features such as the ability to store your shuffle's USB cap while your iPod is docked, and a sure-alarm battery backup (battery included) that maintains your clock settings and ensures the alarm wake-up time in case of a power failure. This unit is powered by the included AC power adapter in order to recharge you iPod, or can run on four AA batteries (not included) for portability, and includes inserts that let it work with all iPod models, including the Nano. The iH26B comes in a sleek, contemporary black finish that matches your iPod, measures 8.22 x 5.9 x 1.65 inches (W x H x D), and is backed by a manufacturer's limited 90-day warranty.

Cheap Price, Amazing Sound, and Looks Great
What can I say, I had looked all over for a product such as this. I traveled back and fourth to electronic stores, but all where over priced. This product works well out by the pool and the sound is perfect it is not to loud, but it can be loud when you turn it up. It is just an awesome product for the price they are asking for.

broke
I was very happy with this product until it inexplicably stopped working 3 months after the 90 day warranty ran out. It will still beep to wake me up like a conventional (read-irritating) alarm clock, but it no longer plays music from, or charges my ipod. Im really disappointed that the warranty is so short since Id sure like to get my money back.

Features I was looking for
I just got this out of the box within the past two hours, and so far I am very happy with it. I had received a HoMedics SS-7000 Sound Spa Sound Machine Clock Radio with iPod Docking Station for Christmas, but I returned it because the display was so bright! I couldn't sleep, even with the "dim" setting. Also, the remote on that product didn't work with my 3rd generation iPod. After many days of hunting, I found this product at OfficeMax (and lucked out: it rung up as $30) and noticed it had the two features I was looking for in a iPod alarm clock: plays and charges 3rd generation iPods and the display dims (to nothing). A surprise plus: the remote controls the 3g.
One weird thing I did notice: Don't touch the screen! I got weird black marks all over it. Luckily, they disappeared after waiting 15 minutes or so. Also, a little disappointed that you can't dictate whether you want to wake up to iPod or buzzer.
As far as other reviews: yeah, the volume doesn't go very low, even when you reduce the iPod volume, but I don't think I'll be using the sleep function all that much. Don't know much about the other problems--hope it doesn't start to die in 90 days like that one reviewer!

Black insert for iPod Nano 4g does not fit
My plastic insert for the iPod Nano 4g fits on the base but not with the Nano 4g. Someone miscalculated the measurements although I do have the Red Nano...maybe that's the difference. Next, there's a small dent in the right speaker. I'll keep it anyway so I can bring it with me when I travel.
