Via Tripso.com, Hilton is introducing alarm clocks with an iPod plugin and related sweepstakes.
The clocks are supposed to be especially easy to set. Unfortunately this probably won’t solve the need to make sure the alarm clock isn’t already set when you check in — there’s little worse than being woken up in the middle of the night because the last guest thought it would be funny to boobytrap you by setting the alarm to go off at 3am.
Also doesn’t solve the problem of making sure the time is set correctly for a new time zone, especially the AM/PM part. This is most difficult to manage when jet lagged. 🙂
