Like me, most of you have probably given up on purpose-made alarm clocks in favor of a cellphone under the pillow, or the less brain-boiling option of an iPod or other non-cellular clock.
Unlike me, you probably get out of bed when the alarm rings, or at least after a few rounds of hitting snooze and nodding back off (I just kick the Lady out of bed and wait for her to awaken me with coffee and a smoothie).
But the most annoying part of getting up – having to actually move and press buttons whilst still groggy from dreams of being chased through treacle-aired street – is removed from this little Moshi alarm clock, a “digital” clock radio that can be silenced merely by telling it to shut up.
The voice-activated Moshi will use its digital AM/FM tuner to provide the wake-up music, and it can also lull you to sleep with your own music by hooking up an external source through a line-in jack. Snooze time is the industry standard nine minutes, allowing you to roll back into your stupor simply by whispering the correct instruction. You can even tune the radio and set the alarm via voice, but those are probably best done when you aren’t moaning groggily and slurring your words.
The Voice Control Digital Clock Radio will cost you $70. For those still unconvinced, Moshi is planning an iPhone app soon, which should let you simple moan “Just let me sleeeeeep” into your pillow and the iPhone thereunder will obediently comply. Available now.
