iPodNN: iHome has introduced what is the first fully functional iPad dock with the iHome iA100ZE. It can also accommodate iPhones and iPods, and gets a Bluetooth connection in addition to an FM radio. The dock includes a free download of the iHome+Sleep app (currently not iPad-optimized, App Store) that offers custom alarms, sleep stats, social media alerts, weather, and overnight news.
The alarm settings from the dock are automatically synced to the iPad. Another button syncs the proper time from an iPhone to the dock. The dock has Bongiovi Digital Power Station circuitry that purportedly optimizes the sound for digital audio formats as well as iHome’s newer Reson8 speaker chambers.
iHome has not revealed prices or a release date for the iA100ZE dock.
