Chances are that the unit has been sitting on Target's shelves for a while and was one of the first ones made. Try buying it at the Apple store and you will be much happier.
The iHome IP99BX is listed for $129 on the iHome (and also Apple) website. However, if you click on the "out of stock" IP9BR ($99 item) on the iHome site they are offering a free upgrade to the IP99BX, including a free pair of their earbuds.
I just bought two units as birthday presents for each of my girls for their iPhone 3Gs. My wife and I have our iPhone 3Gs connected to a Bose Wave in our bedroom. We also have Bose Soundock II that we use in our beach condo.
I have been enjoying Pandora and Internet Radio... and thought the girls would like it too, as well as having a charging dock.
