1. Sony ICF-C1iPMK2: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/sony-icf-c1ipmk2-speaker-dock-clock-radio-for-ipod-iphone/

2. Logitech Pure-Fi Express: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/logitech-pure-fi-express-plus/

3. Logitech Pure-Fi Anytime: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/logitech-pure-fi-anytime/


Which would you choose and why?? I don't want to spend more than $100 and I don't really need a radio.

Also, is there any speaker system that is compatible with the iPhone that will wake me up with an mp3 from my iPhone instead of just an alarm beeping?? Thanks.

The Sony ICFCD3IPS will do the alarm wake up to the iphone mp3's... a lot of the alarm clock models will... Also if i'm not mistaken this model will also recognize an alarm set by your iPhone

What about the Hi-Fi? Best speakers out there hands down.

Kind of expensive now, though. Much more expensive than how much they were before. (Found one site selling them for $750)

Well I was looking for something around ~$100.

I decided to go with the Sony. I think the Logitech designs look "classier and sleeker" however the Sony has so much more functions.

The Sony is not portable, it needs to be plugged in.

The sony does allow me to set the an alarm off the iphone's mp3 list, which is awesome and ultimately why I chose it.

Check out your local Sears store. They may have the Griffin Amplifi on closeout for $50. :)

I haven't looked into it yet...but curious if these would work with the satellite radio apps like Pandora and Stitcher? :D

You mean internet radio? They all should work fine for Internet Radio, though the alarm function would only be for songs directly on the device. The only Satellite radio app is uSirius Starplayr which is currently in private beta.
