It’s not uncommon to keep yourself up at night as you race through the mounting “to-do” lists in your mind…but why lose sleep over it?  The Voice Interactive Personal Assistant from Hammacher Schlemmer lets you rest easy by recording and replaying up to six commands at the time of your choosing.  This voice-activated alarm clock responds to verbal cues such as “Today’s Reminders” and “Help” (hopefully you won’t need that one, though) and replies in what HS calls “a pleasant female voice.”  The device is powered via AC adapter or 3 AAA batteries.  Price: $59.95

moshi-travel I want one of these for my next trip. I always seem to get a hotel room that has the world’s crummiest and / or hardest to set alarm clock. The Voice Control Travel Alarm Clock from Moshi listens to your commands and sets the time and alarm time accordingly. You just press a button, say the command, such as “Set Time”. It understands 9 commands and will even tell you the room temperature. It’s available in 4 colors and is priced at $24.99.
