A while ago I was able to wake up as soon as my cell phone started to vibrate. Now I need a decent ring tone to convince me to give up my undisturbed dreams. I guess it’s all that reckless sleeping that I professionally practice.

But how about a Silent Alarm Clock? You know, like the one designed by Johan Brengesjo which uses a wireless rubber ring which will wake you up by simply vibrating. Yeah right! Like that’s going to work with me! Nevertheless it’s an interesting gadget and it’s certainly mobile. It might be just the thing you were looking for.

Logitech unveiled its latest iPod accessory, the new iPod Bedroom Music System, designed to put you right to sleep. At least we hope so. The new Logitech Pure-Fi Dream Premium Bedroom Music System for iPod takes on a whole new category of iPod speakers for your bedroom. With new technologies including motion and light sensors, the Pure-Fi Dream is equipped with an integrated AM/FM radio and dual alarm with battery backup.

Not your usual clock radio, the Pure-Fi Dream can easily be controlled even in the dark thanks to backlit control buttons that automatically light up when you wave your hand over the top of the speaker. “But mommy, how can I see the top of the speaker in the dark?” It’s where the sound is coming from, dummy. Once you are done with your changes, the buttons dim automagically. With its 3/4-inch high-definition soft-dome tweeters and 3-inch high power woofers, there’s also Logitech’s StereoXL technology that delivers a wider soundfield for enhanced listening experience.

The snooze button (everyone’s favorite, I assume) takes on an interesting look. There’s no button! You simply wave a hand over the speakers to sleep for a few more precious minutes. Well, I lied about there being no button - there is one tactile button on the top of the system. The display on the system features auto-adjusting brightness, so you can read it in daylight or in the dark without problem. A remote control comes with the Pure-Fi Dream.

The Logitech Pure-Fi Dream bedroom music system for the iPod will hit the stores this November for US $249.99.
