I've been checking the tinternet out looking for a new clock radio. The essential features I need are;
1. That its compatible with the iPhone 3G
There seem to be a lot out there which say 'universal dock' and 'compatible with all ipods' but are a little silent on the iPhone. Some shops even contradict each other on the compatibility of the same clock radio.
2. FM and AM radio
Need both, not just FM.
3. Headphone out jack
I listen to the radio or the iphone at night before I fall asleep. It has to be through earphones not to disturb the wife. (In fact I prefer it as it helps block out any noises from neighbours, etc.)
With so many people sharing beds with their partners I dont understand most alarm clock radios out there can only be heard through speakers and dont have a headphone jack. Are most designers single?
I'll carry on looking, but everything up to now is lacking at least one of the three, and number 1 is a doubt with almost all of them. Maybe someone here has already had to look for something similar and found it.
Budget ideally is £50 or £60.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
