I was very hesitant about paying this much for an alarm clock but seeming how it charges my ipods and my iphone 4 thought it would be worth it. This thing picks up stations my home theater system wont pick up and the reoccurring alarm is great i don't have to keep setting it every night before i go to sleep. It charges my nano and plays the music from it but i haven't tried to wake up from just the ipod. The set up can be a little confusing but after sometime i got it down.

Been using it for a couple months now and very happy with it. The display is orange not red like it seems in the pic...

Buy Logic3 i-Station TimeCube for iPhone and iPod (Black) Now

I bought this TimeCube home today,and set it up in my lounge.

After programming in the time, date, radio stations, etc

The sound was good, both from my Ipod 3G and radio.

I then unplugged it and moved it to my bedroom.

Guess what? This bedside radio had forgotten everything that I had programmed in.

Now you tell me what is the use of a bedside radio which is supposed to wake you up,

then fails to because there was a power outage during a stormy night.

The manufacturer seems to have forgotten the most basic need for a bedside radio,

where is the battery backup in case of a power outage?

I purchased this clock online two months ago as part of my desperate search to replace a 30 year-old GE alarm clock that had a perfectly lit display. I wanted a digital alarm clock (color did not matter) that did not project like a nightlight into my room. This was the third clock I purchased and the first one that met my criteria. It has three display settings and I use it on the lightest one. It is easy to read in the middle of the night, but does not project light into the room. I thought that maybe the additional date display would project more light, but it does not. Finally, a darkened room!

I have to confess that other than the alarm (wake to radio, which works fine) and docking my iPod, I have not used any of the other functions yet. It was totally worth the $70 to keep my room dark through the night.

This thing was a real rip-off at $70. From its performance, it should have been more like a $15 item.

What I was looking for was a clock that would (1) serve as a charging stand for my iPhone, (2) be a speaker system for the phone, so I could fall asleep to decent-quality music without taking a lot of space on my night stand, and (3) not blast the room with excessive light all night, which the blue LCD screens inevitably do. I have no use for the radio feature, but there don't seem to be any iPhone-pluggable clocks that don't have a radio.

This "TimeCube" succeeds -barely -in 2 aspects: being a clock, and not being too bright.

But:

(1) Half the time, my iPhone complained that "this product was not designed for iPhone" when I plugged it into the TimeCube. That should have been my warning, and I should have returned it. But I didn't, and over time the iPhone connection became increasingly flaky. It now can't play the iPhone music on the speakers at all anymore, or even charge it. And it's too late to return it.

(2) From the picture, it looks like it has an LED display, but it's actually an LCD; it's just that the backlight is orange. So, on the dimmest setting, it's not too bright, but then it's hard to read in the daytime. Even more of a problem is that the viewing angle is highly restricted -it's readable when I'm laying down in bed, but not if I'm sitting up, or standing anywhere near my nightstand, looking down at it.

(3) The clock-setting process has no intelligence whatsoever -you set the date (year/month/day), but still have to set the day of the week (Mon,Tues,etc.) separately. Even the digital watches I used in the 80's could handle that! And anyways, shouldn't it be able to query the iPhone to get the date & time automatically? For $70?

(4) The buttons are not very intuitive. It's hard to remember how to set the time when there's a power blip.

(5) There's no battery backup for the clock, so you have to re-set the time if there's a power blip.

So the only use this has for me now is as a clock. And actually, I should just unplug it and reconnect my 20-year old clock radio, which has an LED display that's more visible than what this has. And battery backup!

This was a gift for my Daughter she loves it easy to setup and has great sound according to her all in all a great purchase
