Looks nice and great features but, like practically every other clock radio out there, I hate the protruding iPhone on the top. Too bad, they should 'think different' and try to redefine it -- perhaps for allowing the iPhone to push more into it so it becomes one with the unit. Just my 2 1/2 cents.
