MERRIMACK, N.H., April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Specialty retailer Brookstone announced today it is taking pre-orders for the new iHome iP99, the first iPhone clock radio designed specifically to dock, charge and play both the iPhone and all docking iPod models.

iHome, a division of SDI Technologies and leading worldwide manufacturer of award-winning iPod accessories, is set to launch the new iP99 iPhone clock radio at Brookstone on June 1. Brookstone is one of only two retailers that will carry the iP99 iPhone speaker system throughout the summer. Beginning today and until the product launches June 1, Brookstone is offering free shipping to any customer who pre-orders the iP99 iPhone clock radio from a Brookstone store or online at http://www.brookstone.com/.

Retailing for $149.95, the iP99 is the first speaker system that docks, charges and plays music from the iPhone without sacrificing any of its functionality, meaning iPhone users now can listen to their music via speakers and still receive calls. The iP99 does this by eliminating the interference, called shielding, that plagues other audio systems that try to play iPhone. The iHome iP99 also docks, charges and plays all docking iPod models and is the only speaker system that is compatible with both iPhone and iPod.

Housed in a sleek design, the iHome iP99 lets users wake up to their favorite iPhone or iPod music from iHome’s proprietary Reson8(R) speakers, which produce 10 watts of power and are designed to deliver outstanding clarity and depth. The iP99 also features an AM/FM radio, alarm buzzer and a remote that controls both iPhone and iPod functions and menus.
