I bought this the other day as I fried my old alarm clock. I found this in a local store, and thought it was cool that I could use this in combination with my iPod. However, after 2 days I am ready to return it as:

1. The display is brighter than the sun. I've actually had to turn the face of it away from my bed as it casts an unholy blue glow over the entire room. It reminded me of that scene from Poltergeist where Drew is sitting in front of the giant TV. I am an adult, I don't need a nightlight, and besides this isn't like a nightlight, it's like a laser beam, or a spot light, or one of those flashlights cops carry, or stage lighting during a particularly mellow song at a Kiss concert.

2. Not only is the display bright, it is almost unreadable from any angle except head on, where I am pretty sure after prolonged exposure it will burn your corneas.

3. The alarm doesn't work... at all. It also doesn't tell you when it's set (which is sort of table stakes for a frikkin alarm clock right?)

4. It must have been designed by a kindergartner. There are buttons all over the top, with every conceivable function, except... none of those buttons actually set the clock or the alarm. Those are tiny buttons on the back of the unit. Which are only handy now because I have to turn the entire unit around as it is brighter than the sun.

5. The sound quality makes everything sound like circa 1970's AM radio.

I bought this product about six months ago and have to admit that it is the best ipod product I've bought yet. It has adapters for all ipod models, which is awesome. I have the video ipod and use this radio at work. I keep it on my desk and while I'm working I have a slideshow of pictures playing while a customized play list plays music all day. I love it!

I scored one of these for just under $35.00 shipped. Can't beat the price especially for an alarm clock with ipod dock and remote. Great product! Alot of people complain about it being too bright, but I think it's perfect...acts like a small nightlight if you need to get out of bed in the middle of the night.

No CONS here.

Want iCraig Alarm Clock Stereo Radio- CMA3004 Discount?

This product was purchased for my 11 yr old daughter to be used with her first i-Pod Nano.

Pros: Non I can think of at the moment.

Cons: Neon blue light is too bright and there's no dimmer switch...also the color scheme make the it difficult to read from any distance over 5 feet or so. Ours does not charge the i-POD as advertised. Sound is terrible...She gets better sound from her i-Dog. The alarm doesn't work...we set it for a time and the alarm either goes off minutes after the set time or it doesn't go off at all. The radio antenna...what's with the wire. I haven't seen that since the 80's. Why can't they make a better internal antenna? My clock radio doesn't have that and I get fantastic FM reception. All told, I would suggest selecting another brand or paying a little more and getting something better.

True, the clock doesn't have a dimmer switch but light doesn't bother me. Could always put a sticky note on it if it did. Plays my iphone great! Can take to work and it charges and plays my audio books, can stand it on end and watch a movie while working but listening works the best since it's mostly made for ipods.

Inexpensive and not bad sound, it isn't a Bose but it's good.
