Written on Sep 3, 2009 by Brian and filed under News, Sony
Sony has really created an interesting mash-up here of tech toys. The ICF-CL75iP is a combination unit that features an iPod dock with speakers, digital photo frame, alarm clock and FM radio. Sony as not issued an official press release on the unit yet, but a cached Sony Style page shows it being listed for $150 and coming soon.
On the digital frame side, the ICF-CL75iP features a 7″ widescreen display with 800×40 pixel resolution. They’ve included 1GB of internal memory and a USB port; though it’s not clear if there’s a multicard reader as well. Photos can be loaed via USB drive, internal memory or from the iPod. When not in use, the iPod cradle retracts into the base of the frame.
Sony’s definitely looking for a bedroom placement with the ICF-CL75iP. The included alarm clock is quite robust, offering to wake you to music, FM radio, soothing sounds (waves, gulls, etc.) or a 10 second voice recording of your own.
If you need more entertainment, the ICF-CL75iP plays music from your iPod, in addition to mp3 and WMA audio files stored on the internal memory. On the video side the unit supports MP4, Motion JPEG and AVI file types. The report does not mention whether or not the frame can handle video playback from the iPod.
All of these featured are piled in an attractive device that if released at $150 will be a very attractive price point.
