Sony Wakes You Up To Your iPhone

Sony has unveiled a new version of its ICF-C1iP clock radio that acts as a speaker system for the iPhone. This new model, due in stores in May, improves on the current version that only supports the iPod.

iLounge reports that the ICF-C1iP MK2 comes with a wireless remote that lets users access the iPhone menus, as long as they’ve set the phone to “iPod mode.”

The unit also has all the functions you’d expect including line-in, automatic time setting, adjustable brightness, automatic adjustment for Daylight Savings time and the ability for users to wake to their iMusic, the radio or a buzzer.
The $100 device also acts as a docking station, charging the iPhone or iPod when it’s connected. It will be available in black or white.
