Yet another "i" device, though the "i" here probably stands for Interactive Dog. Set this palm-sized pooch in front of a speaker or plug directly into the headphone jack of an Apple iPod or portable music system, and it will groove to the beat--something my mutt has never been able to do. Besides cutely wagging its ears and head, the LEDs on its face will light up to a variety of personalities, ranging from rock & punk to R&B. Creator Sega has also armed this iPod-like pooch with a little more sensor intelligence, so pats and taps will evoke some doggy response.
