I decided to finally replace my alarm clock.  In a perfect world I wanted to dock my iPhone 3G, have it charge, and play my music.  There are really two options right now, the iHome IP99BR and the Sony ICFC1iPMK2 Speaker Dock and Clock Radio with iPod Dock (Black).

I choose the Sony as it was $50 less and got a good review at the iLounge site.  I like the fact that I don’t have to create a custom playlist for the iPhone to run with the alarm.  Whatever playlist I am using when I shut it off is what the alarm uses.  Some things that I did like about the iHome was the 7-5-2 type alarm settings.  You could set the alarm to be 7 days a week, mon-fri, or sat-sun.
