First of all, a word for those who have the latest gen iPods...
You will not be able to charge them on this clock without some sort of adapter (which will be an extra 25 bucks or so). It is not the fault of the manufacturers, it is Apple's - who in their infinite wisdom decided to change how the electrical innards work. Adapters can be purchased to remedy this, and so now I can charge my 2G iPod touch and play music at the same time. This clock has been in the market for at least 2 years. The manufacturer had no way of knowing Apple would make their product not work with the clock.
NOW that that's out of the way - the clock is adorable. The speakers are very good, and it does what it's supposed to do. I have a small night stand, so this fits perfectly. With that said, I do have some gripes -
Due to the flat surface of the buttons, it is very hard to figure out what you're actually pushing when lying down in the dark next to the clock. You can not see what you're pushing unless you're looking straight at the buttons. The alarm has a tendency to get louder and continue to get louder, and there's no way to actually prevent this from happening. Also, the clock's display is bright even on the lowest setting. I have it turned away from me when I sleep.
Overall, it's a nice clock and the latter doesn't really bother me that much (and it was also a gift from my boyfriend). If you have a pre September 2008 iPod, this will play and charge it. If you have a new iPod, you're gonna have to look into buying a 25 dollar adapter to charge it. Whether or not it's worth it is totally up to you. :)
