Altec Lansing got into the game of speaker dock and app combos on Tuesday with the advent of the Octiv Mini. Beyond its one-off slanted design, the single-piece system is built to give iPhone and iPod touch owners an alarm clock through Alarm Rock, a free (App Store) app that can both sleep and wake to the Apple device's existing music library. Both these and non-touch iPods can play regular audio as well as charge up.
