GEAR4 has announced a new bedside iOS dock that does more than just wake you up in time for your morning commute; it promises a “smarter way of sleeping.” Called the Renew SleepClock, the device features two sensors that monitor your breathing and movement, so it knows when you’re sleeping – like a digital Santa Claus that you keep running beside you. Using the sensors, the SleepClock picks the lightest moment in your sleep cycle to wake you up, making for a more relaxed wake period that leaves you feeling more refreshed.
XtremeMac has just unveiled a new speaker-dock that features a flexible dock connector for plugging in different iOS devices in multiple orientations and angles. Designed to handle the iPhone, iPod or iPad, the Tango TT is generally made unique by its flexibility. The 30-pin dock connector allows for docking in either portrait or landscape mode, while a sliding back support raises and lowers the docked device for multiple viewing angles.
Samsung announced two new audio docks that they’ll be showing off at CES next week. First up is the DA-E750, which is a premium speaker that comes powered by a mix of Samsung’s own 100-watt hybrid vacuum tube amplifier for pumping out warm tones and a digital amp for accuracy, and packs in a 2.1 speaker setup.
LG revealed their plans for a TV accessory that supports Wii-like gestures. Called the Magic Motion Remote, the device looks like a simplified TV remote that comes with a Spartan amount of buttons to keep things simple, coming with a simple 5-way d-pad and your basic volume, channel and power buttons.
Here’s a nice-looking bedside dock if you’re into slim-and-sexy stuff: XtremeMac has started shipping the Luna Voyager II, a speaker dock with clock functions for iOS devices. Equipped with a built-in speaker, LED clock with alarm functions and FM tuner, it won’t really offer anything unique or different from your regular alarm clock dock, but the design makes it noteworthy simply by looking so much like your classic bedside clock. It’s not necessarily retro-styled, but the design works well.
