WAKING up is always a drag - especially on dark winter mornings - but the GrooveNeo iPod alarm clock from Cygnett can help you greet each new day in style.

Designed to match the piano black look of an iPod Classic, the GrooveNeo is no slouch in the sound stakes with its dual full-range speakers and real time bass response. To uch sensitive keys allow for easy programming and there is a handy "aux" port for other MP3 players.

The cool red digital display is big enough to see in the middle of the night and you can choose to wake up to your favourite iPod tracks, AM/FM radio or a buzzer.

If you find the GrooveNeo just a bit too cool, why not take a look at the GrooveToons which is designed for the iPod Nano (first to third generations).

This bizarre-looking alarm clock also acts as a handy charger and uses the Nano screen for its time display.

Both these stylish timepieces are available from amazon.co.uk.
