SCARLET-LIT ALARM DOCK ROCKS

As the shelves of the nation groan under the weight of a million iPod docks, new ones need to be a bit special to catch your now-failing attention. This one, the LG PC12DAB, gives you the come-hither with ambient red lighting, evoking visions of Knightrider and a trance concert, possibly for the first time. As the name tantalisingly hints, it’s also a DAB radio, and CDs can be loaded like bread into a toaster. Better still, sound quality is just peachy.
