iLuv unveiled the iMM183 Hi-Fi Dual Dock Alarm Clock with NOA/S.A.M.E Weather Hazard Alert at the CES 2009 earlier this year. Now iLuv says the iMM183 is shipping with an MSRP of $149.99.
The iMM183 is a powerful bed side companion that is an ideal gift for iPhone or iPod owners living in areas where hurricanes are an issue.
iLuv has another dual iPod dock alarm clock on the market with the iLuv iMM173 that does not have the weather warning service.
I have checked Amazon and other online retailers, but I could not find the iMM183 on sale yet. I assume it will appear later today.
About SAME technology:
SAME, or Specific Alert Message Encoding allows you to specify the particular area for which you wish to receive alerts. Since most NWR transmitters are broadcasting for a number of counties, SAME receivers will respond only to alerts issued for the area (or areas) you have selected. This minimizes the number of “false alarms” for events which might be a few counties away from where you live.
About NOAA:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a federal agency focused on the condition of the oceans and the atmosphere. Weather alerts and information featured on this product are provided by the National Weather Service (NWS), a divisional agency of the NOAA.
