6 Sleek iPod Alarm Clocks
Wakey wakey! There's nothing I despise more than being jerked awake from a deep sleep by a loud alarm. Who invented those anyway?
The Vers 1.5R Is One Sexy Alarm Clock
I'm not in the habit of calling my alarm clocks sexy (mostly because I've developed a hate-hate relationship with mine), but this is definitely the exception.
The Vers 1.5R ($200) is more than an alarm clock though; it's an iPod dock, an AM/FM tuner, it has a 3.5mm AUX-out port for other MP3 players, and it's all crammed neatly into a tiny package, complete with a 15-watt speaker.
Although I love what it does, I also love how it looks.
The Vers iPod Sound System: Both Gorgeous and Sustainable
As much as I have championed the ability of the iPhone to replace two devices and it has allowed me stop carrying my iPod every day, I will in no way stop being fascinated by iPod speakers. Having all your music archived on an iPod, combined with a home speaker, makes a compact and comprehensive stereo system, which brings me to my next point: Thank God for MP3 players and speakers, because the stereo systems of old were so very bachelor pad, quite unlike the Vers iPod Sound System from Design Public.
To get great audio and your entire music collection, you don't have to outfit your house in bookshelves stuffed full of CDs or records or boat-sized speakers.
Get Free Lifetime Service on a New Peek For-e-ver (Today Only)
Dying to get your hands on a Peek, but not interested in monthly fees?
The slim email/text-only device, which impressed me when I had it in my hands last year, is available today only for a free lifetime service deal.
The catch is that the device will cost you $300 — normally, the device is $80—$100, plus $20 per month for service (which offers unlimited emailing and text messaging).

I'm in Love With the iLuv
I already showed you a hot retro-modern Vers Internet radio alarm clock earlier this week (which I'm still kind of obsessing over), but the equally awesome iLuv INT170 satisfies my need for something futuristic and sleek.
The INT170 comes with all the same bells and whistles I liked in the Vers: Access to thousands of online radio stations via its WiFi connectivity, FM tuner, alarm clock, and an auxiliary jack so you can plug in your iPod or MP3 player. But the best part has to be the remote, so I don't actually have to get up to change the channel!
Skullcandy Brings It With the Pipe iPod Dock
I usually associate Skullcandy with badass-looking headphones, but they also make equally cool-looking iPod accessories, like this Pipe iPod Dock ($90).
It may be less eco than the Vers iPod Dock I posted last week, but it has a similar look with its wood grain. And even if you've given up your iPod Classic in favor of an iPhone, Skullcandy's model is also iPhone compatible!
