iLuv has introduced the newest addition to its other splendid Apple-oriented products, the iMM173 Dual Dock Alarm Clock, which is capable of supporting the original iPhone, the iPhone 3G, and iPods. This stylish dock features two universal docking stations enabling users to charge either two iPods or an iPhone and an iPod at the same time, while playing media accessible from either of the device. There’s a big LCD screen to display the time or whatever function is being accessed and a 10-level dimmer to adjust the display according to user preference. The built-in speakers feature treble and bass controls with 5watts x2 output coupled with jAura sound technology. Users can opt to wake to their favorite tune from either of the media sources (with an alarm clock for each), the digital FM radio which features up to 8 preset channels, or stick to the plain old buzzer as a wakeup call.

The iLuv iMM173 Dual Dock Alarm Clock will hit the stores early September with a price tag of $130.

We call this, “finding your audio fingerprint,” added Krywko.
