I know that iPod alarm clocks and iPod speaker docks have been around for awhile, but the cool, much less klunky, design of this one really caught my eye. It’s the CTA SoundPod alarm clock. At only 3.9 inches wide, 3.9 inches deep, and just over 6 inches high, this iPod alarm clock won’t take up too much room on your headboard or night stand.

The CTA iPod alarm clock has a 2.1 speaker system, and it works with iPod Nano or any other iPod with a dock connector. Although getting up early is never any fun, you can choose your iPod tunes, FM radio, or an electronic beep to roust you. There’s also a remote control and a port for hooking up other MP3 players or sound devices. I found the CTA SoundPod iPod alarm clock for just over 50 bucks.
