Gift Guide: Electronic Gadgets
By Laura Young
i-Dog Amp'd
This miniature pooch loves to shake his groove thing. Whether it’s plugged into a portable music player or is sitting near a stereo, when it hears music, the i-Dog will tap its paw to the tune, bob its head to the beat, swish its ears and wag its tail to the rhythm of your favorite songs.
Price: $34.99
Details: Ages 8+. Available in white and four collectable designs, including “Pink Butterfly” and “Green Spots.” Compatible with most portable music devices and comes complete with a dual jack. Three AA batteries are included.
Why It’s a Gotta-Have Gadget: While turned on, the dog displays an array of colorful LEDs located on its face, letting you know if i-Dog is happy, bored, or sad. I-Dog tickled testers’ fancies when it happily sniffed their hands while they rubbed his face – but be careful, move his tail and he just might bark!
