The world is cluttered with iPod accessories, and at the risk of adding to the load, SDI is bringing out the iHome (you can tell whewre this is going by the spelling), an iPod clock radio.
Already available in the US (the maker claims it was the most popular iPod accessory last year), you can dock your iPod in the cradle and wake up to your fave tunes in the morning. The sound quality is adequate for a small room, but there are better quality speakers around for the iPod.
If you fancy a bit of variety, you can listen to the radio instead, although at the moment that's restricted to an FM/AM tuner - a DAB version is planned, although SDI didn't say when.
The iHome iH5 costs £100, which seems a little steep to us, and will be available from mid-June. You can find a first looks review on Computer Active.
