Gear4 has taken the wraps off its AlarmDock Halo 3 and StreetParty 5, both designed for the iPhone 5 and its proprietary Lightning connector. Gear4 claims that the AlarmDock Halo 3 is the first Lightning-equipped alarm clock radio made for the iPhone 5. Both the AlarmDock Halo 3 and StreetParty 5 portable speaker dock are also Apple ‘Made for iPod, iPhone’ certified.
The new AlarmDock Halo 3 is app-enhanced, working in conjunction with a free app that offers extended functionality when used in tandem. Users can set their alarm on the app, which then automatically synchronizes the time and in-app alarms when docked. Users can also choose from a variety of customizable alarm sounds or use the multi-source in-app media player to wake up to songs from either an iTunes collection or Spotify account or network music.
