Hasbro's 2006 release of the iDog sparked America's younger generation to purchase iPods in conjunction with the product for a different kind of entertainment experience. iDog is a potable speaker system in the form of, you guessed it, a robotic dog. This mechanical pup "dances" to the rhythm and melody of any song played on it. The toy also forms a sense of what the owner likes to listen to, and reacts to frequently played styles and songs much more than to an off-beat selection (no pun intended). This product is sold in many toy and department stores nationally and currently comes in many different colors and styles.
However, iDog's performance falls short of the company's advertisements. The speaker quality on the product leaves much to be desired. In addition to this, the iDog does not put on much of a show either. The product gives more of a light show with the different colored lights in the toy's "face" than an actual dance. Overall, this product is not much to listen to or watch.
The iDog products range in price from $19.99 to $50 and up. Frankly, you can purchase a much better speaker that is more appealing to look at for this price. To the folks thinking about taking their musical experience to new canine-related heights, save your money. There are much better portable speakers out there for around the same price.
