Philips DCM230 and iHome iH8 iPod Clock/Radios

We take a look at two iPod Clock/Radios vying for your attention this Christmas.

The "Poor Man's 'Bose Wave' Stereo"? (Philips' DCM230: Forerunner to the DCM250)

Affordability. Compactness. Remote control. Satisfyingly clear, dynamic sound (via CD's/FM). Useful (albeit not-quite-so-good-sounding) USB-drive port

Hard-to-read LCD. Incompatible with some iPods. Glossy-plastic top (or shiny-metal grille) easily scuffed (or dented)

Great Buy.

Just opened it, and loved it automatically. Great base and just amazing over all. iPod compatible, radio, MP3, CD player, just about everything. Definitely buy this docking system.
