For some time, the iHome clock radio, $99.99, was the top-selling iPod alarm clock , but it seems there's finally some serious competition on the market. Created by XtremeMac, the slightly more expensive Luna iPod alarm clock, $149.95, is the first alarm clock for iPod to integrate an on-screen menu system. Like the iHome, the Luna design offers a chic and unassuming addition to your nightstand, and its functions allow you to listen to your favorite music and playlists in the morning instead of the dreaded buzzer.
The Luna lets you sleep and wake to your iPod or the radio, and also serves as a complete speaker system for your home or office. For more about the Luna alarm clock, just read more
Luna's menu system provides user-friendly control over all of the alarm and audio functions and the players are controlled by four large (but chic!), knobs located on the top of the unit. The unit can be controlled by the included wireless remote which features advanced audio and alarm functions, meaning you can "hit the snooze" via remote.
In addition to being a customizable alarm clock, Luna is a complete audio system powered by two full-range speakers and a powerful two-channel amplifier. There is also an AUX-IN port for connecting audio devices without a dock connector such as the iPod shuffle, older iPod models or other MP3 players.
geeksugar rating: If you are looking for an upgrade, and the Hello Kitty iPod alarm clock isn't for you, Luna is probably the way to go.

I have one of these- the sound is really good and the screen is nice too. It's a lot nicer to wake up to good music rather than the constant beeping.
The only thing that was tough to get used to was figuring out which button on top to press to snooze (the one on the left does snooze, the one on the right turns the alarm off). That caused a problem twice.
Also, everything about the alarm and clock is configurable- can change the brightness of the screen when you wake up, ramp the volume up to whatever you want over however many seconds- pretty much anything. Very neat!
1I got one from a different brand and I have looked and looked and I don't think there is a way to turn down the brightness...so it didn't replace our alarm clock, but it's still nice to have.
