Somewhere out there in gadget land a clock radio is having one hell of an identity crisis. It could sit there in a cute package and perform its function as desired, or it can be a wild child and decide that it will no longer sit in the traditional boxy package and burst out in the radio scene as a ... garment iron?

This radio comes packaged in a small and cute iron. It also includes an auxiliary input in the "power plug," so your MP3 player can enjoy some identity crisis fun. I hate to say it, but the whole "putting boring gadgets into new and unique packaging" is something that I could definitely get used to and the world could use. Boo black and beige; hooray colorful and fun! This Iron Radio Alarm Clock is available for $25. — Travis Hudson
