iHome Zune ZN9 Clock Radio & ZN10 Table Radio
Ok... before you laugh at the brand names ridiculous prefix, hear me out. I have listened to the iHome stuff for the iPod- a few of the clock radios and they sound fantastic for the price, so I’m pretty hyped to see one for the Zune. I have a few Zunes laying around that need a home (yeah what a terrible problem to have).
Cesar over at Zune Insider reports that this is the first clock radio (ZN9) for the Zune that will features a gradual wake or sleep to your favorite crunchy tunes. Additionally, you have the ability to set the alarm for weekends and weekdays. The table radio (sorry not pic available) is housed in a “retro-classic” wooded speaker cabinet with a line in for other non-Zune gadgets.
I will definitely pick one up, but I really wish they would change the brand name- it kind of creeps me out.

While the name iHome plays well with the iPods, I agree the name is kind of misleading. Unfortunately, this is the name of the company so I guess the name needs to stick. It would be more appropriate for it to be called Zune-Home.
On another note, these radios are very useful. I have a clock radio (Not an iHome for one of my iPods and it's great to preselect whatever music that's desired to wake up to. It's also good to know that the iPod is not the only DAP to have this available.
