    It's not 'shake & bake' -- It's 'shake & wake'!

    Here’s a iPod Dock/FM radio from iLuv with quite a few nice features. It’s the iMM178 Dual Alarm Clock for iPod/iPhone with Bed Shaker/Speaker. It lets you wake to your iPod music, the FM radio, or a buzzer. Along with any one of them, you can have in-bed shaker vibrate your bed or pillow. Great if you’re a heavy sleeper. The bed shaker is also a speaker. That way you can fall asleep to music under your pillow and wake up to the shaker feature! Another nice feature is the LCD display which has 10 brightness settings, including completely off. Way better than those high/low dimmer options on most clock displays. This unit picks up the time from your iPhone or iPod/iPod Touch. You can use other music devices via an 3.5-mm input. The FM radio has auto tuning and 10 memory presets. The two built-in speakers provide decent sound for the nightstand, especially at the price. A sleep timer lets you drift off to sleep to the sounds of your iPod/iPhone or FM radio. When docked, the iMM178 will charge your iPhone, iPod or iPod Touch. This radio is $52 at J&R Music. I have bought stuff here, but not this particular radio:
