For a long time I was looking for a speaker that would charge and play my iTouch 2G, and finally I've found it. Satechi speaker looks as cool as my iTouch! The sound is clear, enough to fill a bedroom. With the dimmer button, I can fully dim the screen before I go to sleep. I believe the AA batteries are for keeping the time on in case of an electricity loss, because the speaker does play with the battery. Finally, I was surprised with the remote control. It looks much better the picture I saw. Actually ... Read More
Rating: - not bad
its not bad, the sound isnt that great. the battery life is horrible and the clock is never right. it loses its time quite alot. i havent used it as an alarm clock just as a charger for my ipod touch at night and to put some music on in the background when i am going to bed.
its very annoying though when you plug your ipod in and turn it on it will automatically turn on to the first song and the volume is always very loud. havent found a way to get around that, it unlocks the ipod and ... Read More
Rating: - Very good sound quality, just a few issues
I bought it for my iPod Touch
+ Sound quality is even better than I expected
+ Fast shipment to Europe (it took less than one week)

- Treble control doesn't work. If you try to change the default setting it removes all trebles rather ... Read More
Rating: - Does not REALLY work with IPhone
Others are saying the same thing NOW that I have mine. Here's aother review to stop you from believing the manufacturers claim that this is iphone compatible. I would recommend it for other ipods but absolutely not for IPhones! The phone continiously makes loud static interference. Turn off the phone and the interference stops. I knew I was in trouble the instant I plugged in the IPhone and the phone displays a message saying the device I just plugged into is not IPhone compatible!!!!
Rating: - just what I was looking for...
I was looking for a clock/radio that worked with my iPhone. I had a hard time finding one that wasn't only for iPods. I have to admit, I wasn't going to buy this for fear it wouldn't work, but someone wrote a review for it after getting it for their iPhone. You'll get prompted, just like they said, after docking it to put the iPhone in "airplane mode," and voila - it worked like a charm. My only complaint is you can't receive calls or data in airplane mode, but that's an iPhone problem, not a problem with ... Read More
