14 DAY TRIAL // It's a monster, indeed and it rocks your player out! Now, that's a stupid look! In a cute kind of way, of course. If I see one of those I might hide my iPod, or it might start to cry itself out. This fluffy guy is actually called iPal, though I cannot see anything remotely pally about it.
The alien-like character is another set of goofy speakers that works with your iPod, as well as other MP3 players, CDs and stereos, and with a glint in his enormous eye, this one appears to be some kind of a GIMP model.
According to a Tech Digest note: "Largely featureless save for a set of massive peepers, these are the kind of things that would keep me awake at night, never mind the kids. Most of them are furry and available in a range of garish colors." Not much about the iPals. They debuted at a recent Toy Fair in London. However, there is no mention about them on the character Online web site?just the fact that the company is art of the Character Group, founded in 1991, a couple of found raising activities for the children with special needs.
The iPod monster wears its speakers for eyes, the skin of a zebra or tiger, or leopard or giraffe. It also has an audio jack, which enables you to connect it to your CD player as well.
It works with 3 AA batteries, measures 32 cm X 27cm X20 cm. Surprisingly, this thing features great sound quality and large speaker eyes. Not to mention the funky design that would make any kid cry.
All in all, it looks much better than the sassy hello Kitty iPod speakers. Who knows, this might be your next musical companion for both you and your precious iPod.
