Siesta iDock is fully compliant with Apple's "Made for iPod" and "Works with iPhone" programmes. Track and 'now playing' information is displayed on the Siesta iDock screen and users can control their iPod or iPhone via the radio when their iPhone or iPod is placed in the integrated dock. On top of this, Siesta iDock is a perfect bedside companion with a whole host of useful bedside features including a large auto-dimming display, four quick-set alarms, DAB and FM radio and a PowerPort, which provides power for handy USB accessories such as mobile phone chargers, reading lights, bedside fans and cup warmers, solving the problem of having insufficient power points next to the bed.

The four individual alarms can be set for weekdays only, weekends only or as a one-off. A sleep timer allows you to drop off to your favourite station and there's an adjustable snooze time for an extra lie-in when you deserve it.

Despite its compact size Siesta iDock also features tuned stereo speakers to help make waking up sound that little bit better.

The iDream is perfect in any roomThe iDream is perfect in any room

The iDream is the perfect bedside partner for any home!

This stylish DAB/FM RDS digital stereo clock radio comes with a dock for an iPod. The iDream enables you to listen to your iPod through its stereo speakers and charges your iPod at the same time. The iDream offers 20 station presets as well as a clever auto timeset, whilst its large screen offers enhanced visibility, displaying the time and radio station against a blue backlight which can be dimmed for preference. You can also select the clock to stay on screen whilst tuned into your favourite radio station unlike other DAB clock radios on the market that default to the details of the station you are listening to.

All major functions can be controlled by the easy-to-navigate menu or by remote control, enabling you to choose whether you wake up to your iPod, the radio or a buzzer. There are also adjustable snooze and sleep timers.
The iDream is more than just a clock radio.? Functions include the iPod docking facility enabling you to play your personal music collection via the stereo speakers (2 x 2.4 watts).? The Alarm function allows you to choose to wake up to FM, DAB, iPod or buzzer.? The iDream will also enable you to listen to your iPod whilst it charges.DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting, this is a way of broadcasting radio digitally via a network of transmitters. It provides listeners with more choice, better sound quality and more information.Because of the way DAB technology works, broadcasters can transmit many more stations than ever before. Listeners in most major towns and cities in the UK can receive between 30 and 50 radio stations with a digital radio, in many cases that's more than double what's available on analogue. Because digital radio uses the spectrum more efficiently than analogue, it is possible to broadcast more channels using the same frequency, making room for broadcasters to expand their station portfolios.

Because digital radio uses the spectrum more efficiently than analogue, it is possible to broadcast more channels using the same frequency, making room for broadcasters to expand their station portfolios. DAB digital radio delivers improved sound quality. The technology allows the receiver to lock on to the strongest signal it can find and ignore everything else. This eliminates the hiss, crackle and fade so familiar on analogue radio. A DAB digital radio will tune to a station at the touch of a button. No more fine tuning a station to get the best reception. A DAB set allows the listener to scroll through a list of available stations by name - then tune in by pressing the 'select' button. Have you ever heard a song on the radio and wanted to know who it is by or what it's called? Or tuned into speech radio and wanted to know what the programme is about or who is speaking? Digital Radios have a screen which can show text information transmitted by the radio station. Some stations send information about latest news, sports scores, what's on now and next, website address and phone numbers. Some radios offer an option to view the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) which shows listings information for some stations. It is also possible to pause, rewind and record live radio.
