If you’re one busy bee who cannot remain disconnected from the world even during the night, perhaps the Bedside Phone Center is your dream gadget in your bedroom. Looks like the manufacturer of the Bedside Phone Center is a strong believer in the adage, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, and thus have equipped this device with an iPod dock for your entertainment purposes. Getting down to business (no pun intended), you get an alarm clock, a built-in AM/FM radio, a wireless remote control, a 2.4GHz telephone, and a couple of handsets that have speakerphone functionalities.

The list of goodies does not stop there, however, and the Bedside Phone Center’s usefulness is underlined by bringing all the most common office functions into the comfort and privacy of the bedroom. Just in case you missed the all important business call, there is the built-in digital answering machine to take down voice messages, a memo recorder for times where you wake up with a brilliant idea, a 50-number phonebook, Caller ID, call waiting, intercom, three-way calling, and a pager/locater. You can also program the alarm to wake you up via the radio or the iPod itself.

Choose from six selectable ring tones to go with the four handsets that are connected to it. Last but not least, the inclusion of stereo speakers provides a welcome relief from all the work-related stress as you unwind to your favorite tunes that are stored on your iPod. Pick up the Bedside Phone Center for $249.95 from Sharper Image.
