Travel sized speaker for your tunes
So why should i-dog be any different, we hear you yelp. Well for starters i-dog is about a billion times more intelligent than the aforementioned cyber canines. But, more importantly, i-dog is a music lover. In fact i-dog can't live without a few decent toe-tappers. That's because this cute little bow wow 'feeds' on the tunes you play him and develops one of three personalities according to the music he hears. He even functions as a portable speaker for your audio player. A kind of woof-woofer, if you will.
The idea is to feed i-dog with music at least once an hour when he is switched on. Simply plug his leash (well, connector cord) into the headphone jack of your audio device (CD player, stereo, MP3, computer, etc.) and let the doggie disco commence. This harmonic hound also comes complete with a dual jack so you can plug your headphones in and dance along to the music too. i-dog begins life in Puppy Mode but as you feed him he will begin to react to the tunes he hears. You have to get it just right because i-dog really is a discerning little digi-dog. Rock and punk make him rebellious, pop and R&B make him happy and dance music makes him excitable. As you can see, i-dog really knows his music, but we urge owners to refrain from playing him any K-Fed as we wouldn't want the RSPCA getting involved.
A series of multicolored lights on i-dog's face also help to show how he is feeling. A blue light on i-dog's forehead shows when he needs a musical fix, but you need to get it just right; play too much music and the light patterns will indicate that he is ecstatic; ignore him and they will indicate that he is bored.
i-dog also reacts to movement. Stroking his head or touching his nose will make him happy and you can also discipline him by touching his tail - although this will make him growl. Bad i-dog!
i-dog can also use his built-in microphone to listen and react to music from an outside source. We set him next to a radio during Seacrest's show and his ears sagged in despair. Thankfully a few bars of Smack My Bitch Up soon perked him up and before long he was nodding his head and waggling his ears in appreciation.
This state-of-the-art interactive pooch is a truly entertaining desktop companion and his sleek, up-to-the-minute styling will complement any audio set-up. Better still, i-dog doesn't need walking or delousing - a few decent tunes will keep him happy. In fact, if music be the food of love i-dog is freakin' starving!

Daily Mirror |
"There's no shortage of iPod accessories around, but none are friendlier than I-Dog - a yappy portable speaker."

"An icon in the making. The cute little iDog is a robot that responds to all kinds of music by dancing, waggling his tail and spontaneously bursting into a mini light show...Roll over Furby."

I'm genuinely worried how the world would have turned out if is was not for you! (Prediction: Normal) I mean a flashin' head-shakin', ear-flapin' all barkin' all flashin'....... IDog is so very simple yet so very VERY entertaining!
Once again, thank you Firebox, for saving the human race from a dull and boring world. And I promise never to stop playing!
Because,
WE DONT STOP PLAYING BECAUSE WE GET OLD, WE GET OLD BECAUSE WE STOP PLAYING!!!!!
(p. S. Ridiculously fast delivery......again!).

I just ordered this iDog thing today. I was hesitating at first but when I read the reviews I said to myself, I need to get this thing! lol
I got an iPod Nano and this can be a good companion when listening to music! Thanks Firebox!

The best way to listen to music: hook up your mp3 and watch this dog dance while you listen to the beat. Even my real dogs in love with it, it's so cute!

I bought this as a surprise for my girlfriend but when it came I had to tell her the post hadn't arrived today and maybe tommorow. I just ordered hers now.

It is great and fun all good except it's not got a long battery life.
I made mine powered from the power plug but it still has batteries in case of a blackout.

I received my iDog (christened Greatorex) for my birthday. He now sits firmly next to my speaker dancing along to my tunes, receiving compliments of cuteness.

My daughter received her iDog as a gift. She loves dressing it up in the winter outfit that came with it and watching the dog's reaction to music. However, we have misplaced the dual jack headphone lead. Can we order a replacement somewhere?
Firebox says: We're sure other sites sell them, just do an internet search and it should bring up some results.

These are really cute... My brother's ordered an ipup for my birthday, but where can you get the dual jack headphone lead? Because they dont seem to be included =/.
Firebox says: Hi Nadine, the dual lead is only really needed with the iDog as it acts as a speaker. As the iPup is not a speaker it does not need a dual jack. Hope this helps!
Nadine, Hartlepool - Jun '07 |
I really like the I dog I got, he's very cute and interesting but there is one problem. There is no way to turn it of (to make it shut up!). Can you help me!!!!!
Firebox says: Leave the little fella for around 30-45 mins and he will settle down. Or hold down his nose. He will start to bust a move to any noise or attention given though!
