I ordered this Sony iPod dock from Walmart -- it's one of their cyber Monday deals. Still available for $49 with free shipping to home. It was well reviewed by a handful of customers on the Walmart website (as it's a Sony product, I assume those handful of reviews are not shills from Sony Corp). The only negative review complained that the clock is too bright.http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sony-ICFCS10iPWMT/17352760Just an update the above model -- my daughter's ben using it for a few months. Works great and has very good sound.
