After having made his first rolling clock named Clocky, Guari Nanda has come back with her latest rolling clock, which she named Tocky, since it's got a touchscreen. It's true that most people use their cell phones as their alarm clocks, but we've always found that using a dedicated clock is a good way to go.
The new clock is called Tocky and just like the Clocky, it's a rolling alarm clock. It will run away from you in random directions so that you don't push the snooze button too much. The new clock is spherical, has a touchscreen and interchangeable rubbery skins. It can record messages, and mp3s (thanks to its built-in mic).
The original Clocky comes with wheels and is able to jump 3 feet away from you when you try to press the snooze alarm. Everyone tries to press the snooze alarm at some point. I used to be terrible and delay really waking up for a long time. These clocks would really stop you from doing so, because in essence, you'd have to get up to get them to stop their noise.
Tocky was just announced and it's available via Guari Nanda's online store for $79. If you want Clocky, you'll have to spend $45. Ultimately, unless you really like the design of Clocky, Tocky is the way to go, even it if is more expensive. It's definitely a unique clock.

I never have done and never will use my cell phone as an alarm clock, the whole point for me is to be able to see the time and if it's close enough to look at then thats bad for me. Do you really want a cell phone right next to your head, all night, every night?
Really, most people use their cell phones as alarm clocks? I don't believe that.
Its not difficult to believe people use cell phones as alarm clocks. I just challenge the claim that most people do.
I use my cell as an alarm clock because I can put any ringtone/sound file in it to wake up to.
