 It's actually pretty good for what it's meant to be December 10, 2008

I bought and returned the Sony ICF-C1IPMK2 a few weeks ago. You can find my review of it and my reasons for sending it back. In brief, audible distortion killed it for me. I subsequently ordered the ICFCD3iP with the expectation that sound output would be weaker.
I received the CD3iP today and I'm happy to say that it accomplishes its mission very well. It's not meant to be a Bose SoundDock, but it produces very well behaved sound. Let me see if I can explain it further...
First, there is absolutely no audible distortion. The sound is clean and well balanced; it has weight and is not as tinny as some would suggest. For a clock radio, the speaker does a remarkably good job. The volume goes up to level 20, which is loud enough for a single room but not loud enough to damage your ears. Realize that it's a small speaker and keep your expectations reasonable. Even at maximum volume there is no distortion and the sound is tightly controlled.
The FM tuner does a superb job of producing a clean and clear output with no listener fatigue. Small amounts of hiss or noise can quickly lead to fatigue, so it's particularly gratifying to have an FM radio to which I can listen at length. NPR (local 88.5) comes through very nicely.
The alarm and clock are thoughtfully designed. Large numbers are easy to read, the display has 3 brightness levels, and the dual alarms can be set for weekday, weekend, and wake-to-radio, wake-to-iPod, wake-to-CD, or wake-to-buzzer.
Alarm and radio presets are backed up by an onboard battery, so no flashing 12:00 after a power outage.
iPod/iPhone integration is the same as on the ICF-C1IPMK2. The remote lets you navigate your iPod.
Overall I'm quite happy with the design and performance of the CD3iP. It replaces a 12 year old alarm clock without taking any more space while adding CD, Radio, and iPod playback.
Functional, good looking, but need better sounds December 3, 2008

This clock radio looks very good on my night stand, with very easy to read digits. It also has all functions, like CD, radios and ipod, etc. However, the not so good sound quality withdraws it from a perfect clock radio. Due to its small speakers, it sound like a small portable radio.
 Good as a Clock Radio December 9, 2008

I just bought this clock radio about a week ago. It functions well as a clock radio, has a small footprint and looks pretty good. The sound quality is average to poor if you are used to listening to stereo speakers, but if all you want to do is wake up and listen to the radio, a cd or your ipod for short periods, it will do fine. I also really like the fact that it will charge my iphone right next to my bed. No more transferring the USB cable from computer to charge my phone!
This unit just replaced my old Sony CD/Clock Radio that had a much better sound, but was alot bulkier. Overall I am happy with this purchase, but will still use my other systems when I am serious about listening to music.
 Great Idea but really, really unsatisfactory sound quality December 8, 2008

This unit has a great idea behind it -- small footprint, attractive design, plays CD and IPod. However, the sound quality is of that of a small clock radio -- tinny and very thin. I would not buy it.

There are many types of devices for the iPhone on the market. I gave this one as a gift and the recipient seems to be very pleased with my choice.
