Great sound in a small retro package

This is a great-sounding clock/FM radio that plays and charges my iPod classic without any fuss. My only complaints regard its use with an iPhone: 1) You need to use the free Philips iPhone app for radio station presets, and 2) Playing the radio while using the app occasionally produces "skips" in the audio, an odd experience considering this is still an analog signal and not an Internet stream.
The only other oddity is regarding the station-seeking function: you must turn the tuning dial in the direction you want to seek, then press the volume/source knob within two seconds to seek to the next station. Considering the two controls are on opposite sides of the unit this makes for an awkward, usually two-handed operation.
Pros: sounds great while playing fm radio or ipod/iphone, two separate alarm times, easily adjustable dock no inserts needed
Cons: audio skips while using philips ios app, radio station searching is awkward
I would recommend this to a friend!

Would be great if radio did not skip when connected to iPod

When connecting the iPod for the first time you are directed to download the Philips HomeStudio app. When using this app to control Radio settings (like presets) the Radio sound skips/chops every second so the radio is not usable. This issue needs to be fixed since the radio is not practical to use without the iPod.

Great vintage look, great modern performance

I purchased this radio because of the cool retro look. I even got a price at my local electronics store that was 25% less than any online vendor. It is used in an office that got very poor radio reception. However, this Phillips radio gets excellent radio reception. Combined with an iPod docking station and the awesome retro look--what's not to like?!?
Pros: great radio sound, docking station gives it modern functionality, very cool retro look, great price
Cons: none to date
I would recommend this to a friend!

Looks cool radio is good.
However can't get it to play an iPod classic on the dock or on the aux...Drives me crazy.
