The iPhone makes a pretty killer bedside companion. Our own Gregory was using the flip clock application to keep his time in check, but was left wanting more—like an alarm. Lucky for him and the legions of other iPhone clock fans, there's a new product that features 'kickstand' docking hardware and alarm clock and weather software to make your iPhone the most kick ass bedside companion you could ask for...
For small cool spaces, this nightstand solution from Kensington is sure to be a better fit than a bulky iPhone alarm clock dock. It's got a small footprint—the dock is really just a kickstand to keep your phone in landscape mode as the star of the show.
Once you download the free Kensignton Rise&Shine Clock & Weather application from the Apple App Store (here's the iTunes link), you'll get the time display, an alarm feature and up-to-the-minute weather information, all before you roll over out of bed. The app is compatible with iPhone 3G, iPhone and iPod Touch.

Is the iPhone's built in alarm clock so unusable that you have to spend $40 to "improve" it? I think not...
Well, you have to admit, if you can wake up to the morning with the iphone clock docked beside your night stand, you'll less likely have broken clocks shattered on the floor.

The app doesn't have a built in alarm clock function, they recommend using the native clock app before opening rise&shine.
I am using this app, but rather than buy the other charger I've just been using the charger that comes w/the iPhone. I lean it against my lamp, and so far haven't had any problems with it being stable.
The one problem I do have is that even in the dimmest mode, it's still much brighter than a typical alarm clock.
