Piggy iPod speaker with cool controls

Posted on Jan 9, 08 01:23 PM PDT

[CES 2008] This porcine speaker works with your iPod and iPhone, and I must say it impressed me with the sound quality. While the design isn't exactly cute per se, the fact that Amethyst included a glowing mouth adds to the appeal of this speaker dock. Its ears feature an airflow optimized design that helps avoid distortion and resonance, although you can't really tell that on a noisy showroom floor. While it is already available in Europe (for $99 I might add), Amethyst is currently looking for distributors in North America. What's most interesting about this iPod speaker dock are its ears - rubbing the right ear lowers the volume while doing so for the left ear will increase it. Pretty neat use of touch sensitive technology! I suppose since this is Vegas, there would probably be 'adult' versions of iPod speakers using similar technology although that would be another can of worms altogether ;)
