Sure to be a generator of several, "Ha! That's so cool," comments at your next dinner party, this iPod station/alarm clock by Accurian merges modern gadgetry with some retro style. When you turn in for bed, slip your iPod in, set the alarm, and you'll be roused by your Wakey-Wakey playlist. Or, if you want to get creative with your iTunes downloads, the latest episode of The Office. There's a regular 9-minute snooze, plus you have the added bonus of waking up to a fully charged iPod. It can't fly or anything, so don't get too excited. Available for $30 at RadioShack, the dock/clock comes in black or white. — Peter Pachal
