Tired of the iPod alarm clocks that wake you to the gentle morning light or a bit of soft Winton Marsalis? Yeah, just hit the ‘snooze’ bar and roll over for a few more minutes. What you need is an alarm clock that won’t take no; perhaps iLuv’s new Vibe Plus. This alarm clock will rock your world – literally.
Along with the usual technology, like integrated iPod dock, FM stereo and speakers, is the intriguing option described as “bed shaker.” The attachment, which rests under your pillow, can “shake the deepest of sleepers awake,” claims the maker. Combine the shaker with the buzzer (there are 10 options for getting your lazy behind out of bed) and the iLuv iMM178 Vibe Plus might be the best bit of technology since Mr. Coffee.
The iLuv Vib Plus retails for $89.99.
