Released May, 2009
The Pros:Unique "bed shaker" vibration alarm mode - great for heavy sleepers. Compatible with the most recent iPod touch and iPod nano. Blue LED panel isn't too bright - great for darkened bedrooms.
The Cons:Only includes a minimal setup guide - users must visit the website to get the full manual. AAA batteries can only be used for maintaining the time - not for music playback. Doesn't fully support the iPhone - only controls available are volume up/down and prev./next track.
The iMM153 is a mid-range iPod alarm clock from iLuv. Integrated speakers, a universal dock, and an FM tuner allow users to wake to an iPod, radio, or buzzer. The iMM153 is unique in that it also includes a vibrating 'bed shaker', which can be placed under a pillow to wake heavy sleepers.

#iluv_imm153 I just got the iLuv speaker and shaker alarm (iMM153) for my birthday, and i was very excited to use it with my iTouch. The first night i had it, i set the alarm and the next morning it woke me up using both the shaker and it also played my iTouch. Later that day I was listening to my iTouch playing through the iLuv speakers (btw my ITouch seemed to topheavy to stay on the iLuv without disconecting or falling off) at one point i tripped on the cord (which is really to short) and the iLuv fell 2 feet onto my carpet. Now it can still use the alarm and shaker and radio, however my iTouch cannot play through the speakers and there's somethings ratteling inside the iLuv. If you are looking for a good way to wake up, then the shaker does really work, however if u are lookign for somethign to play your iPod on, i would definetly look else where.
