iLuv App station dock, the alarmclock that charges your iPhone while you sleep

Here’s yet another lovely iPhone docking station, that acts as an alarm clock to wake you up, and charge your iPhone while you sleep. It even sings if you may.


The Dock
The dock is designed with simplicity in mind. You’ve got a typical on/off switch, a volume button, a snooze button which works with the iLuv App Clock, and a 3.5mm audio input jack. The dock can be rotated to hold your iPhone in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. A very nice touch to that indeed. Well that’s it, but then again you don’t really need anything beyond that to charge your phone and listen to some music at a louder volume.

The App
In theory, you’re supposed to use the iLuv App Clock iPhone app with the App Station, however the iPhone’s built-in Alarm, Weather, and iPod apps seemed more reliable. This is mainly because the iLuv app isn’t iOS 4 compatible and can’t run in the background, which means if you accidentally close it to read an SMS, you’ll find yourself waking up being overslept.

The Price
The iLuv App Station will set you back at $90. For that price you get the dock and the corresponding AC adapter. You’ll of course have to purchase the optional six AA batteries separately. But it seemed safer to stick with the AC if you’re gonna use it every night.
