Over the last couple of weeks, have been looking for an iPhone-friendly alarm clock to replace my original iHome iH5. One day a couple of weeks ago, I had just finished up ordering new contacts at Costco Optical, and I just happened to see the Teac HD-1. It was perfect – a little large, as I was hoping to get something more compact than the iHome, but what coaxed me to purchase the item was its HD radio capability.

I will skip the nonesense, but everything seemed OK about it, until I left the radio on for a few minutes. That’s when I noticed the it was no longer playing crystal clear HD radio from my bedroom anymore. I went to check out what was up and discovered that it switched to AM band by itself. The Teac HD-1 did this several times, so I returned it to Costco for a full refund.

Anyone have suggestions for a completely iPhone friendly, $100 or less, somewhat small bedside alarm clock that you think would be good?
