Tons of technology, but don't throw away your old clock radio!,
December 9, 2007 This review is from: Philips BTM630 Bluetooth Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System with iPod Docking Station (Electronics)
Just got this the other day. Here are my thoughts:
* Gadgetry
Okay, this thing has all the technology - It's got bluetooth connectivity, including the ability to play music from another device wireless and answer phone calls (built-in mic). It has an SD card slot, and a USB slot for other devices (haven't tried this out yet). It has an iPod dock. It'll even rip your CDs. I haven't seen anything on the market with this many options.
* Ease of Use (Interface)
This is where things start to go a bit off. It's not the easiest device to use. The display doesn't show the most relevant information. For example, if you're looking at it in bluetooth mode, it just keeps repeating the words "BLUETOOTH" in caps on the screen. But that's redundant because I already know that fact due to the big flashing blue light in the corner. Also, though this thing looks like a clock radio, it doesn't function very well as one (it rarely shows the time throughout the various...Read more

All I can saw is WOW!!! what a neat idea and great sound, great features.. I am so glad I found it.. It has changed my whole experience of music between, cell phones, ipod and pc.. now for once I can enjoy all of it through this awesome all in one sound system.. I can login to my sirius acct online and bluetooth to this unit while I am online or cooking or whatever while my laptop is on nearby.. I can also plug my Ipod right on top and get full access to all the ipod features via the remote control (menus, play, playlists, back, volume...etc..) and the sound is even better than the sirius radio.. Then I can play regular am/fm radio (which I have not done yet) I can play cd's, which is also awesome and I can even burn my music to a USB device.. I haven't tried it yet, but I assume I can burn to my external hard drives that have USB.. I will try that..My only wish would be for it to burn to cd and dvd of my playlists.. but my computer can do that so that's ok...
Well I can...Read more

The problem I have with this system is the sound. Overall the sound is muddy and harsh. We also have a Sonic Impact I-P23 Portable Speakers for iPod and the sound is far better for half the price.
If you want a cool looking clock radio to play your IPod at low volumes, get this. If your looking for a higher quality stereo sound, buy something else.
