Buy Coby Portable Dual Alarm Clock/Radio with Motorized iPod Docking System (Black) Now

I bought this because of its feature that let you plug in a flash drive and play mp3s, but it made a humming noise at low volume levels. I also didn't like that it took 8 batteries (which is sort of OK if I wanted it to be portable), but didn't have a battery backup for the time as a seperate battery.

I bought this item for my sister for Christmas and it is awesome. My sister loves it and tells me very often that this was the best iPod Dock I could have gotten her. The only drawback that she has found is that she can't figure out how to make the volume on the alarm lower. She has tried many times to turn the volume down when she turns it off, but every time the alarm goes off it startles her with how loud the music comes out. Besides that, this is an awesome iPod dock.

item works very well, fairly intuitive on control functions, great sound. My wife loves the Ipod dock and the fact that the remote works with it.

Initially I ordered a HOME brand docking system, but it cost more and the sound wasn't nearly as clear. Needless to say, I returned the previous item and kept the Coby product. Great bang per buck!
