Getting up in the mornings can be a dread, and over here at Coolest Gadgets we have seen more than our fair share of alarm clocks to help force you out of bed. Memorex wants to take the diplomatic route with the iWake clock radio which features an iPod dock, ensuring you will be able to wake up to your favorite band or singer without sending a shock or forcing you to chase after it like a madman. The iWake clock radio is now available in blue, purple and red metallic finishes in addition to sleek black and bright white to help spruce up your dreary looking bedroom in the process. More on the Memorex iWake clock radio’s specifications and features are available right after the jump.

Of course, if you’re sick and tired of all the tunes on your iPod at this point in time (something I find impossible to happen considering the amount of tunes you will be able to store on a 160GB hard drive), there is always the option to rock on with the built-in AM/FM radio. Other features include a white backlit LCD display, a snooze function, a wireless remote control, and a universal dock that is compatible with virtually all iPod devices. As with other iPod docks or devices of a similar nature, the Memorex iWake also doubles up as a charging unit for your iPod, ensuring you will be able to leave for work with a fully-charged iPod, ready to meet the challenges of the day ahead.

The iWake Clock Radio for the iPod has been shipped to Target stores across the US, retailing for $79.99 a pop regardless of its color scheme. Well, what are you waiting for? At that price point and variety of colors, it definitely sounds like a great bargain.
