Sometimes good things come in pairs…and sometimes they just double up. Accessory and peripheral maker iHome has introduced its new iP88 iPod/iPhone alarm clock/radio, which not only offers two separate alarms, but also sports two separate iPod docks so users can charge up and access audio on two separate iPod/iPhone decides. The iP88 aims at folks who find themselves using both an iPhone and an iPod, as well as at Apple-carrying carrying couples who have a pair of devices between them—it has a distinctively boxy look, but that may be just the thing for tucking onto a nightstand or into a bookshelf.

The iP88 features dual universal docks that work with any docking iPod model as well as the iPhone and iPod touch; of course, iPods and iPhones get charged while they’re docked. Users can set alarms to trigger the AM/FM radio, play a playlist from either an iPod or iPhone, or wake up to a traditional buzzer. The unit also also features a graduated volume setting for waking folks—or putting them to sleep—gently. The unit can handle 8 AM/FM presets, and features a line in jack to accommodate non-iPod media players. The iP88 ships with a remote control, and users can also sync the iP88’s clock to their iPod/iPhone time with the touch of a button.

The iP88 is available now for a suggested retail price of $149.99.

There's a scene in Mission Impossible 3 that you might recall. In it, our hero Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) tackles the movie's villain, holds him at gunpoint, and forces him to read a bizarre series of sentences aloud.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards

Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

Digital Trends’ Tech For Change CES 2023 Awards

Digital Trends CES 2023 Tech For Change Award Winners Feature

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.
[CES 2023] Relumino Mode: Innovation for every need | Samsung
Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.
