Rise & Shine with your iPhone fully charged.
What do you think about in the morning…?: What’s the time? Is the sun shining? Where’s my phone?
Kensington introduces the Nightstand Charging Dock for iPhone and iPod. Not only does it prepare your device for the next day with an overnight power recharge but it also helps you prepare for the day ahead with a weather update.
The Charging Dock’s styling is sympathetic to your interior so it doesn’t stand out when it’s not in use . When it is in use it’s unique design holds your iPhone in the landscape position, perfect for use as a bedside clock and weather station.
Add to the perfect bedside charger a dedicated App that displays the time and weather and you have the ultimate combination. Kensington’s “Rise & Shine” App is available free of charge from the Apple App store. The App perfectly complements the Nightstand Charging Dock by overcoming the iPhone’s or iPod Touch’s auto screen saver to constantly display the time on your screen. Perfect for when you wake up.
The Nightstand Charging Dock for iPhone and iPod and Touch is much more than a good looking charger. It holds your iPhone or iPod Touch in landscape mode using a kickstand to clearly display the time and weather. Kensington Rise and Shine Clock & Weather application from the Apple® App store transforms your iPhone or iPod touch into a bedside clock and weather center.
Kensington research shows that too many gadgets, and the associated cable clutter causes frustration and irritation. The Nightstand Charging Dock for iPhone and iPod Touch was developed to keep the things as simple as possible with a compact footprint and styling which blends into the home environment. The Nightstand Charging Dock for iPhone benefits from a simple design, eliminates bedside clutter by replacing the beside clock and charger with one device.
Rise & Shine is Kensington’s first App. . “Kensington in well known for it’s iPhone & iPod power accessories. We believe that accessories should improve the enjoyment of the product they accessories.

Every bedroom should have one!”, said Jackie Dowson, Kensington European Product Manager.
