The market is now flooded with iPod speaker systems, so how do you make yours stand out? Speakal's solution is to create a product that looks like a farmyard animal.
Yep, the iPig is here: this is a docking station that uses four speakers and a 4-inch subwoofer to deliver 25 watts of sound. The porky product also offers a bass control and enables you to adjust volume by touching the left and right ears (we're not making this up, honestly).
Turn the iPig on and its smiley mouth lights up, while this blinks when it receives commands from the supplied remote. The dock is compatible with several iPod models, though the presence of a 3.5mm input jack means that you can plug anything into the hoggish hardware.
Available in a range of colours, the iPig costs $140 and is snout now in North America (sorry).
