Hilton Clocks: The Definitive Information and How-To Thread

I've stayed in two Hilton properties in the past three days and haven't seen them yet. Hilton's website says they'll be introduced this spring, but nothing more.

Has anyone seen them? It'll be nice to have something to connect my PDA to.

I had a Hilton clock @ Portland, OR last month. Worked swell with my mp3 player. ^

Hmmm. So it's not a east to west rollout. I wonder if there's any method to the introduction like Hiltons get them first then DT's and ES's.

Hamptons get the "poor man" version.

Hamptons will see a different version minus the MP3 jack.

Hampton Inn® clocks feature the same great easy-to-set alarm and pre-set music buttons but will not have the MP3 jack.

Yet another reason to avoid Hamptons.

The Hilton Cincy Airport has the new clocks. It worked well with my Ipod. ^

Hilton Northbrook, IL had them last week. I was kind of surprised to see it. Plugged in my ipod and after some fiddling it worked.

So it looks as though Hiltons are getting them first.

Funny thing - I got one of the Hampton clocks the first week it was out for my own personal use b/c the manager of a certain HI thought I needed a gift for staying there every week for over 18 months

It still sits at home next my bed!
