iPod, Radio or Buzzer Alarm
Wake to your docked iPod, the radio, or--if you must--a classic buzzer alarm. Whichever you choose, a gradual alarm feature gently raises the alarm volume, so it's not too jarring. Dual alarm lets you set separate wake times.
The 7-5-2 alarm settings mean you can set separate wake times, either for every day or separate weekday/weekend times. You also can wake to the playlist or song of your choice.
Sleep Features
In designing the iP99, iHome paid special attention to the other end of the alarm clock equation--going to bed. Sleep to iPod, iPhone, or radio, with programmable sleep times of 120, 90, 60, 30, or 15 minutes. Gentle Sleep gradually decreases the music volume as you drift off to dreamland.
What's more, an Adjustable Sleep volume solves an old alarm clock problem, allowing you to select a comfortable "sleep" volume level without affecting the "wake to" or listening volume levels.
Programmable Snooze
The iP99's programmable snooze feature allows you to set snooze intervals of 1 to 60 minutes, so you can milk every last second of sleep before you're late for work or class.
Play and Charge Your iPod or iPhone
The iP99's Universal dock plays and charges most docking iPod models (in addition to using them for alarms), along with the iPhone. So when you wake up, your device will have a full charge as you head out the door.
Quick Time Zone and DST Switch
Traveling or moving with your iP99? Adjust the preset time to any of seven different time zones at the touch of a button. Ditto on that pesky Daylight Savings Time.
AM/FM Radio
The iP99 delivers solid radio listening with PLL digital tuning, an external AM antenna for better reception, and built-in Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) for enhanced FM reception.
Save your favorite stations on the six AM or six FM presets.
Big Sound, Small Package
The iP99 delivers powerful audio with stereo drivers in specially designed Reson8 speaker chambers.
Reson8 is iHome's through-body ported speaker chamber technology. Porting speakers gives better bass response characteristics, and helps the iP99 deliver sound beyond its size.
Auxiliary Input
Connect external devices like MP3 or CD players to the rear auxiliary input for your enjoyment.
Full-Function Remote Control
Enjoy convenient control from a distance with the included remote--control both radio and iPod functions.

I notice a lot of people complaining about the clunky volume buttons----I just use the very nice remote to change the volume. Much easier and smoother and it comes with a battery already installed. This also lets you control the ipod (menu, playlist selection etc) without getting out or leaning out of bed :)
Sound quality is good.
It's not perfect of course... It has an simple wire antenna for radio which can be unsightly. The volume control is a flush ring that is slick and can be hard to adjust (I end up licking my finger to make it tacky ala turning a page in a book (gross, I know), or using the remote). Odd input selection between radio, line-in and iPod (dedicated button for all but iPod which you must press the Play button instead.) Even though it's compatible with iPhones, I still get a message every time I plug it in asking if I want to turn airplane mode on. I called iHome about this last issue and they said I should try plugging it into a different outlet... not sure how that'll help, but I plan on trying.
Even with the longish list of cons, none have put me off this great clock radio because it sounds pretty darn good for a clock radio!
And to make the thing play to begin with you have to have the phone off before docking, wait for that annoying "incompatible with iPhone" screen to go away then navigate to your songs or app while docked. You cant just set up the tunes in your hand and plop it on there. Again, its nuts.
When its working, it sounds good and stuff, but it has been really frustrating using this product.
