iPod in every room: XtremeMac Luna
In the previous issue of “iPod in every room” (English), I looked at an iPod-compatible iHome iH36W device mounted on the bottom of any kitchen cabinet. Today I want to draw attention to another room, the best candidate for the iPod - the bedroom.
Most people use an alarm clock to wake up on time. Of course this does not apply to those who:
For the rest of us, awakening is not always easy. Someone bought himself a terrible tweeter, someone uses an alarm clock with a radio which every morning listens to tedious presenters and continuous advertising, or you are lucky and you can wake up yourself.
I present to you a competitor to all these alarms - Luna iPod clock radio from XtremeMac . Moreover, this device will be interesting even to those who are already thinking about buying another alarm clock compatible with the iPod - LDS-iALARM from Logitec.

Luna is like a regular radio clock, so it wakes you up in the morning, but that's where the similarities end. This device has a great opportunity to set two response times. For example, 6:30 am for weekdays and 9:00 am for weekends (of course if you do not have children), which allows you not to think about the need to turn off the alarm every Friday. Another nice feature is the display, which adapts to the illumination of the room, which allows you not to strain yourself on a sunny morning and does not hurt your eyes on a dark night. The same Luna signal can be with increasing volume. The remote control is convenient and functional. Instead of going to the bedside table where I have a Luna installed, I can move throughout the bedroom and control it from the console. This saves the alarm clock from the terrible problems inherent in any electronics in the bedroom, with the wet hands of the owner.
Oh, I forgot to call the main thing - Luna works with your iPod so that you can wake up with your favorite music. Being a stand for the iPod Luna turns your alarm clock into a personal music player that you can listen to at any time in the bedroom. (A place for jokes Barry White ( Barry White ))
Mastering unusual buttons will take some time, especially considering that the user manual ( you can download it ) does not help much in this. Fortunately, a brief instruction is on top of the device. Save it, you will need it in the first two weeks. Another strange thing is that Luna is not sold with the iPod adapter, you have to buy it separately (price from 9 to 20 USD).
The price of a Luna is somewhat too big - 149.95 USD, but its functionality and sound quality are quite comparable with the price.

Most people use an alarm clock to wake up on time. Of course this does not apply to those who:
- Indecent rich;
- Has newborns or just small children;
- Goes to bed at 8 pm and wakes up at 5 am.
For the rest of us, awakening is not always easy. Someone bought himself a terrible tweeter, someone uses an alarm clock with a radio which every morning listens to tedious presenters and continuous advertising, or you are lucky and you can wake up yourself.
