Altec Lansing inMotion Moondance GLOW

Introduced at the same time as the slightly more expensive inMotion MAX, the inMotion Moondance GLOW is a new take on the portable iPod dock speaker system from Altec Lancing. Aimed at individuals who prefer stationary speaker listening, the Moondance GLOW acts as an iPod driven stereo/alarm clock and does not contain any battery for portable use. With support for all dock-based iPods, as well as the same FM radio as the MAX, the GLOW features a larger amber LCD screen for the time, a wireless snooze remote (along side the regular remote), a mood lighting option, and the ability to use the iPod, radio or a regular alarm clock noise as the sound medium of consciousness retrieval.

This looks like a great unit, I would really be interested in seeing future Altec Lancing alarm clocks. Surely not as refined as the SqueezeBox BOOM (sound/build quality or featureset wise), but the iPod functionality is nice, and the styling and use of the inventive wireless snooze remote is superior in my opinion.

I would love to see a higher end unit like this with wireless functionality (support for SlimServer/SqueezeCenter) a digital output or two, and potentially a larger screen.

I know I'm dreaming :(
