The last thing we all need is another iPod dock, but if you're looking for one Altec Lansing's moodance GLOW seems like a good choice if you also want an alarm clock with FM radio. I saw this at CTIA and thought the wireless snooze button included was a cool gimmick. Instead of looking for the snooze button on the dock, you just hit the big wireless button which you can place anywhere in the room. This oversized snooze button also pauses the music on the iPod so you can take calls without all that noise in the background.

Another fun option is the multicolor mood lighting that illuminates the back of the dock, which you can turn off or leave on to set the mood. The dock also has auxiliary inputs so you can use the speakers with other media players, FM radio, a remote control, dual alarms, and it supports most iPods including the iPod touch. The dock will retail for $180 when it launches sometime next month.

    This one looks pretty nice. My son had a hard time finding an iPod dock for college because he wanted AM/FM clock radio features and a CD player - not all music is played from electronic files . . .

    Why do these companies only make this stuff for iPod? What about those of us who have other mp3 players?
