If I give that thing 1000volts will a portal open up and suck my nano into another dimension?

Does it make a comfy hat? Would you wear it with the display in front or in back if it did?

Nice all-in-one, but bad name. :P

It's actually just called the JBL On Time; Time Machine Dock for iPod is like the catch phrase for the product - but yeah it's not a great catch phrase :-P

The only way it would be a fitting catch phrase is if it could actually perform time travel. If it could do that, they might actually be able to justify that ridiculous price too. :-p

I think the name is a bit silly. If anything, the name is a "turn off". I would not buy an item with that name. It just sounds stupid.

and someone once laughed at the idea of a "mouse" for a human interface device for computers :-P

I'm not defending the product in question, but to judge a product by its name is silly.

Yeah... just look at the Playstation...

Nintendo named it's new machine Wiii, and people are still buying it.

I would not judge a product by the name. It would be like judging a book because of it's cover.

A weird name can draw attention to a product. I think that is what Nintendo is doing.

You know, for about 1/2 the price, you can get an iHome which has near all the same functionality. With a name like JBL, I'd expect the extra $$$ to go towards the sound.

lol... funny you mention that. we got one for review. keep your eyes out for it :)

We got this, we hate it. The iPod is continuously going on the fritz and the clock-display goes to bit-salad and everything has to be re-set. Since it does it even without the iPod I'm not sure what the problem is - something in firmware - it's unreliable as an alarm-clock and doesn't catch the automatic time-set.
But mainly you can't set the alarm volume at a level of your own choice. It comes on loud and gets louder and louder as the alarm proceeds until it's too damn loud, whether it's the radio/iPod/beeper. It's loud enough to wake the neighbors through three layers of insulation and sheetrock. There should be a cutoff volume.
This is meant for a 17-yr old slumber hog who could sleep through a nuclear blast, not an adult with neighbors.
