I-Dog: the perfect iPod accessory

by

If your kid is getting an iPod nano or shuffle for Christmas, a speaker is a must! A fun and affordable option is an I-Dog. Last year, I-Dog Dance was a big hit; new products in the 2009 I-Dog collection include:

I-Dog Amp’d

For ages 8 and up, this “Interactive Music Companion” has new funky graphic designs and features stereo sound. Simply plug it into the headphone jack of any hand-held music player and music will broadcast through the built-in speakers located in its back and belly. If you set it near a speaker, it will also tap its paw, bob its head, swish its ears, and wag its tail to the rhythm of the music. Colorful LEDs located on its face will light up to the rhythm. Requires 3 “AA” batteries, included. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide and on Amazon..com for $34.99.

I-Dog Soft Speaker

For ages 6 and up, and available in a variety of pretty colors, this is an I-Dog your kid can actually cuddle up with. Simply plug an MP3 player directly into this dog and music will broadcast through a built-in speaker or your headphones. Just like the original I-Dog, the lights on his face flicker and his ears move to the beat of the music. You can also place him near a speaker, press his nose, and watch him dance along. Requires 3 “AA” batteries, included. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide and on Amazon..com for $34.99.

I-Turtle

For ages 8 and up, this rockin’ reptile is the newest member of the I-Dog family. Simply place it in front of a speaker or plug it into the headphone jack of any hand-held music system and get ready to rock. I-Turtle sways its head side to side, taps its foot and moves its shell up and down as it flashes its colorful LEDs, all to the beat of the music. Music broadcasts through a built-in speaker. Requires 3 “AAA” batteries, included. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide and on Amazon..com for $19.99.

I-Dog Plush Puppy

A smaller version of the I-Dog Soft Speaker, my favorite feature is that no batteries are needed! This means that it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the other I-Dogs, but it’s all my daughter needs to listen to her music. When plugged into any MP3 player, the Plush Puppy will broadcast tunes through the speaker on its back. Available in a variety of colors, the I-Dog Plush Puppy also features the classic I-DOG color dot representation on its face. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide for $14.99.
