Sorry, let me pick my jaw up off the table. It's not often that a simple consumer electronics doodad is as beautiful and magnificent as the Alfie Audio iPod System. I'll start with the downsides: This is a pretty basic iPod alarm clock when it comes to functionality. It has a dock, remote, AM/FM radio, CD player, dual alarms, etc. If you haven't already noticed, it's the outside where this dock really shines, literally. The top and front of the clock is covered in a polished black lacquer fit for multi-million dollar mansions.

The alarm includes auxiliary inputs, a subwoofer with bass controls and 40W speakers hopefully capable of waking even the hardest sleepers, maybe. There is no word on pricing or availability, but it will make a great addition to any classy bedroom. Dorm room residents need not apply.
