Sony to release iPhone-ready clock/CD radio

Sony has created a third-generation iPod/iPhone clock radio dock with a new look, the ICF-CD3iP, according to an apparent leak by Sony Insider. The unannounced dock would have a unique, circular side pod that both holds a clock, AM/FM radio and CD player and simplifies the controls with obvious front buttons to control playback. A side pod would hold the Apple device itself.

Music can be played using any of the sources and includes MP3 CDs and CD-R/RW audio discs. The iPhone or iPod are integrated with the alarm clock to wake up the owner and can be controlled using the included remote control. The ICF-CD3iP will reportedly be available in October, with a price estimated at $100.
