If it was good enough for Marty McFly, it's good enough for youFor $40 you can turn your sleek, modern iPhone into a retro-styled nightstand alarm clock. The Alarm Dock from Areaware is nothing but a hollow block of beechwood with a slot for your sliver of glass and steel, and yet — in conjunction with the right clock app — it manages to perfectly evoke those crappy old GE faux-wood flip clocks of yesteryear.
Designed by Jonas Damon, the box measures 6.75 x 3.5 x 2.5 inches and has space to plug the dock cable into the phone and route it out the back. And a good thing too, as the iPhone will eat its own battery before morning should you decide to leave the display running all night just to check the time once or twice.
Now all we need is an iPhone app which will wake you up with the inane chatterings of a shaved and caffeinated ape, punctuated by too-frequent and too-loud commercial spots. Older readers may remember something like this: it was called “radio”.
