Day fades. Darkness spreads. Eyes grow heavy. Thoughts drift. Gentle music plays. Sleep descends.
You
wake to find that, during the night, your iPod Shuffle played until the
battery died. And your ears hurt from sleeping all night with earbuds
in. As the infomercials say, there’s got to be a better way!
The
iHome iH18W Portable Travel Alarm Clock for iPod Shuffle doesn’t wake
you up to music from your iPod Shuffle, which would be ideal. But it
does include a sleep timer for the mysterious little playa, with 15-,
30-, 60-, and 90-minute countdowns, along with a separate volume knob
for the sleep timer. Plus, it eliminates the need for earbuds, allowing
you to shuffle to your little heart’s content on two stereo neodymium
micro driver speakers.
Color us skeptical on the iH18W’s
“portable” aspect – this thing is about the size of two wine bottles,
so you’ll need some vacant space in your valise if you mean to take it
on the road. And yeah, it’d be nice if it cranked up the Shuffle to
wake us, instead of the “gradual buzzer.” But if you’re looking for a
sleep timer for your iPod Shuffle – and we know at least four or five
of you must be – well, uh, yeah. Here’s one.
Hey, is that “No Woman No Cry” we hear? We’ve always loved… that song… always puts… us to… zzzzzzzz
