iDog Demo


I got this about 2 months ago.

It has a speaker and a line-in jack where you can hook it up to an MP3 player, and also has a built in mike so it can pick up sounds and react to them.
It is an emotion similator like a tamagochi or an aibo, using its own sounds, lights, ears and head to express its excitement, sadness etc. It also has touch or movement sensors so it can tell if you are touching it.

The speaker is not the greatest and it makes a lot of noise when it is moving, but it looks good in the dark. Probably make a good gift.
