SAN DIEGO, Feb. 26 — Designed for bedrooms, studio
apartments or college dorm rooms, Sony is unveiling its latest clock radio
with a dock for iPod(R) and iPhone(TM).
Sony is one of the first companies to launch an iPhone compatible
speaker clock radio. It features a wireless remote with full access to the
iPod and iPhone devices’ menus (the iPhone handset must be in iPod mode),
as well as to alarm clock’s radio tuning and volume functions. It also
charges the device while docked.
An adjustable backstop mechanism ensures that most devices fit snugly
and securely in the clock radio’s cradle. It’s also compatible with the
smaller iPod players. Because of its supplied cable and line-in jack, other
digital music players can be easily connected to the unit.
Robust Alarm Clock
The clock radio also has a full-function alarm clock. Users can choose
to wake up or fall asleep to music, the radio or a buzzer.
When first powered on, the Automatic Time Set (ATS) feature will
display the correct Eastern Standard Time which easily can be changed to
other time zones. The unit also has automatic Daylight Savings Time
adjustment, eliminating the need to reset the clock in the spring and the
fall. Adjustable brightness control over the LCD display provides easy
readability.
Pricing and Availability
The ICF-ClipMK2 clock radio comes in both black and white designs. It
will be available in May for about $100 at Sony Style stores, online at
http://www.sonystyle.com and at authorized dealers nationwide.
