Sony Unveils New iPhone, iPod Dock

Designed for bedrooms, studio apartments or college dorm rooms, Sony has unveiled its latest clock radio with a dock for the iPod and iPhone. The device 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 clocks, 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.

Sony’s ICF-ClipMK2 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 time (formats and time can be changed to other time zones as well). The unit also has automatic Daylight Savings Time adjustment. Adjustable brightness control over the LCD display provides easy readability.

The ICF-ClipMK2 clock radio comes in both black and white designs. It will be available in May for about Rs. 3,996 ($100) at Sony Style stores and at authorized dealers in the US.
