Crosley Radio
Celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, Crosley Radio has been a pioneer in producing and marketing mass-market radios. In recent years, it has established a niche in vintage, retro radios and turntables. The iSolo radio is just such a product, designed as a radio that looks as if it belongs in an art gallery. It also docks and charges the user’s MP3 player. The iSolo provides clean, consistent sound by using Crosley’s patented and trademarked AroundSound technology, which is designed to eliminate acoustic “hot spots.” The radio also has a 3-inch studio driver and a 5:1 radio tuning dial and analog tuner. crosleyradio.com
SDI Technologies
SDI has taken its product line to a new level with the iP39, a kitchen-timer alarm-clock radio that includes a dock for an iPhone and iPod. It’s designed with a retractable universal dock, time-sync features which allow the user to instantly set the clock to his or her iPhone time, a magnetic remote control and a USB port for recharging devices such as cellphones and PDAs. The iP39’s design combines sleek kitchen esthetics with easy-to-clean surfaces. sditech.com
Tivoli Audio
The company’s Model 10 table radio is a high-fidelity AM/FM clock radio with a state-of-the-art digital tuner and an adjustable Equalization System, which perfects the sound levels to individual preferences with controls for treble, bass, loudness and balance. All of its functions are accessed by a single top-mounted remote control or with a full-function remote control.

Innovative Technology
Innovative Technology’s iPhone/iPod Boom Box takes you back in time to the 1980s. The new product has the look of a classic oversized boom box from three decades ago, with the latest technology from 2010. It charges the user’s iPhone or iPod while playing music and includes an AM/FM radio and a digital clock. Just as 1980s boom boxes recorded music on cassette tapes, the iPhone/iPod Boom Box records directly on to its USB or SD card reader in an MP3 format. ithomeproducts.com
