Well, it would seem that modern technology is finally catching up with some of the most ordinary appliances around the home, one of the best examples being the ALTAZ Internet Clock Radio, a tiny device in charge of waking you up in the morning but also capable of providing a lot more features on the side.

The first thing worth mentioning about the device from ALTAZ is related to its high level of versatility, because, via the ease of a touch screen and Wi-Fi connectivity, the ALTAZ Internet Clock Radio/Digital Photo Frame offers consumers Internet radio, photo slideshows, news and weather reports, video, and various popular Internet applications. Moreover, the 3.5-inch display provides not only information, but also direct and easy control features, making it a lot easier for users to access its various features and functions. Other important features worth mentioning include the presence of a SD memory card reader and a built-in, rechargeable battery. “The ALTAZ Internet Clock Radio is a sleek, functional addition to any night stand,” said James Lin, President of Altaz, Inc. “Unlike most alarm clocks with limited old-school functionality, the ALTAZ Internet Clock Radio provides endless entertainment while serving as a source of information that users will find both enjoyable and useful. Beside the fact that their Internet Clock Radio will be available at online retailers, ALTAZ has also announced its strategic partnership with leading North American consumer electronics distributor D&H Distributing, which will expand online and brick and mortar presence of all ALTAZ products in the near future. We are proud to have entered into this synergistic relationship with D&H.,” said Lin, adding that ”ALTAZ is honored to have our company and products be recognized by such a consumer electronics industry leader.” The Internet Clock Radio from ALTAZ has a MSRP of around $99, which is actually a pretty decent price point, all things considered.
