iHome iHC5: First Bluetooth Clock Radio
With phones, headsets, and speakers getting Bluetooth, it was inevitable that alarm clocks would get them too. iHome’s iHC5 dual-alarm clock radio has wireless capability that lets you both stream music from your PC/phone and act as a speakerphone for your cell. The upside? You won’t need both an alarm clock and speakers. – Jason Chen

Flipperoo Clock
With all the weird digital clocks we feature, we thought it’d be a nice change of pace to show you an analog one for giggles. The Flipperoo clock has hand-drawn words and numbers that flips as the days pass, letting you know that you’re one day closer to your eternal slumber.
The manufacturer’s only making 200 pieces in this batch, and they’re going for $60 each. However, we have no doubt that they’ll make lots more once they sell out thanks to all the Gizmodo readers snatching them up. – Jason Chen

Return of the Water-Powered Clock
For those who want a water-powered clock without having to insert wildlife—what am I, a florist?—this water-powered H2O clock survives for two months on one “charge” of water.
Fill the transparent tubes with tap water—canine saliva should work—and watch as the non-backlit time ticks away the minutes to your eventual retirement from the circus. It’s only $12, which is about as much as you’d expect to pay for a travel clock that isn’t backlit, doesn’t have an alarm, and whose only notable feature is that it can be powered by fluid from my body. And when you send yours to me to charge, please have a self-addressed, pre-paid return box and specify what type of bodily fluid you wish for me to use. – Jason Chen

Batman Projection Alarm Clock
Quickly Nightwing, to the Batmobile! The replacement commissioner, Commissioner Clock King, has thrown up a Batsignal that also shows what time it is.
Apparently this new Batsignal, which is powered by both AC and AA batteries, can tell the time and wake me up in the morning after a long night of partying and pounding criminals. It’s also only $29.95, and comes with a nice sculpture of yours truly. – Jason Chen
