Yesterday was Hongyun's birthday so I got her a little gift. What is it you ask? The iHome iH6. The iWhat? Well think of it this way...buying an iPod is so cliché since everyone has at least 3 of these things by now, so why not get some accessories for your tune-lover to use?



Hongyun listens to audiobooks before going to sleep and this thing will help her get some nice sound quality and adds dual alarm functions, wake to ipod and radio alarms, a backup battery so your alarm goes off in the event of a power outage, a remote that controls the iPod, and an AM/FM radio. There's even a nice dimmer switch to dim the backlight of the clock so you don't have this ultrabright glowing thing scorching your eyelids while you try to sleep.



The only downside we found is that it doesn't charge or play 3G or earlier iPods which is a bummer. You can still play through the device using the dock connector, but you have to push play on the 3G then push play on the iHome itself...not pretty, but hey the 3G is old anyway.
