iHome introduced
a free application for the
iPhone
and
iPod touch called
iHome+Sleep. This app provides a full-screen clock display along with
weather widgets, the iPod control cluster, and a customizable background image.
iHome+Sleep also introduces the Sleep Card, which lets you create
multiple profiles for wakeup times, sleep and wakeup sounds, messages, and
reminders.
iHome claims the
iHome+Sleep app will "enhance
the modern sleep cycle" with its innovations, which include:
- Sleep Stats: a running
record of the user’s sleep habits, including how many times they snooze,
average bedtime, hours of sleep, and many more;
- Social Media Alerts:
Facebook Connect & Twitter integration allows users to send their friends
preset or impromptu messages at bedtime and wakeup;
- Overnight News: a new
take on the morning paper, users can read what happened on their social
networks while they were sleeping.
The
iHome+Sleep app is available from the
App Store as a free
download. iHome plans to make the app available with other soon-to-be-released
App-Enhanced products from iHome.
