Accessory maker iLuv has announced the TimeShaker, an upcoming alarm dock for iPhones and iPods. The unit is iLuv’s first alarm dock to switch to Lightning, the connector format used on the most recent generation of Apple devices. The dock’s name comes from its detachable shaker unit, which can be slipped under a pillow to wake people who might otherwise miss a sound alarm.
Two separate alarms can bet set, using iPhone/iPod audio, FM radio, a buzzer, or the shaker as waking options. People with non-Apple devices can listen to them via an aux-in jack. Some other features of the dock include a LCD with a 10-level dimmer, and a dedicated TimeSync button for pulling time from an iPhone or iPod.
The TimeShaker is scheduled to ship in August. The iLuv website lists a $120 pricetag, but the company itself says that the dock will cost $100.
