Sony ICF-CL75iP Dream Machine Has Got To Be The Coolest Dock Clock There Is

Sony is definitely telling me what time it is with this positively bodacious looking dock clock for the iPhone/iPod. Packed with some innovative features I desperately need a PR contact that deals with this product.
On the pricey side ($150), the ICF-CL75iP will totally have one night stands rubber-necking the morning after. Featuring a giant 7-inch 800×480 LCD screen, you can play movies (MP4, M-JPEG, and AVI files) and slide-show pictures from your phone or USB stick. It also has 1GB of internal memory for storage of the above mentioned material.
Beyond the normal AM/FM and iPod alarm functions, you can also program a 10-second voice recording to help you get out of bed. Whose voice would you use?
Not that I want to gripe about features, but it could have internet/WiFi connectivity for weather reports as well as a projected ceiling time display.
No word on release date but I’d love to get my hands on this thing.

I just purchased this last weekend and I absolutely love it. I was a little concerned with the bright screen at night at first but you can dim the screen. It works so well with my iPod Touch and it has the sound machine built in (which is one of the reasons why I purchased it). I love it!!! It’s great, it was more expensive than I had expected but I’m glad I bought it. It was hidden on the shelves at Best Buy, I happened to be looking at a cheap Insignia one with just the small clock screen and then I saw this underneath. It said Sony, so I knew it was gonna be good and last a long time!! I say GO BUY IT!!!
Does anyone know if it has a gradual wake/sleep volume function? (For me that’s a deal-breaker).
Does this allow you to play back videos from your iPod (specifically iTunes content)?
I just got this for Christmas.
HB: It does not have a gradual volume function. You can set the volume for the alarm, but the sound does not increase.
Chris: Yes it plays back videos from you iPod/iPhone (your iTunes).
Chris:
it lets you play ipod videos and youtube (for ipod touch and iphone)
