Reviews of the iHome iP47BR (black)

CNET Review
The Good: Tabletop clock radio that allows you to wirelessly interface with your cell phone via Bluetooth to stream music and make speakerphone calls; built-in iPod/iPhone dock with GSM shielding (no need to switch iPhone to airplane mode); alarm clock functionality allows you to wake to songs on your cell phone or the radio; 12 AM/FM station presets; retractable dialpad; includes wireless remote for making calls.
The Bad: Sound quality for listening to music is only so-so; fairly pricey.
The Bottom Line: The iHome iP47BR corrects nearly all of the shortcomings of its predecessor and is a far more recommendable Bluetooth clock radio as a result.
