The wait is over. Someone finally had the wherewithal to combine an iPod docking station/alarm clock with a giant vibrator. You knew it had to be done at some point. After all, how many times have you wanted to pair the two? I, myself, can’t even begin to count them.

Now you can have all the benefits of your favorite digital music player combined with the incredible sensation that only waking up to a high-frequency vibrating device can deliver.

The ingenious product wizards at iLuv, creators of a multitude of iPod accessories and Bluetooth devices, have just launched the iMM153 Desktop Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker for your iPod. Touted as a device that can wake even the heaviest of sleepers, the iMM153’s “bed shaker” is actually a small, round vibrating disk about the size of a CD. The little round wonder gets slipped under your pillow or under your bed where it begins to vibrate when the alarm goes off. Talk about your pleasant ways to wake up. Especially if you're not alone... It just might encourage you to set the alarm for your afternoon naps, too.

The iMM153 sports all of the typical features that you would expect in an iPod dock including dual alarm, built-in speakers with aux-in jack, 10-way dimmer switch, and AM/FM radio. It also comes in four different colors. But where this beauty shines is in its ability to get you off on the right foot. How about setting it for your significant other? I bet she’d appreciate that gentle nudge in the morning. Just be careful. It would really suck to get replaced by a vibrating hockey puck.

So if you’re in the mood for an alarm clock/iPod dock that’s capable of delivering a happy ending before the day even starts, the iMM153 has your (or her) name on it.
