Play My iPod. Good Dog! - OnRobo - Home and Entertainment Robot News and Reviews:
Apple’s iPod is inspiring designers around the world. The latest incarnation is Sega Toy’s mini robot pet named the “iDog.”

Sega Toys announced Wednesday that the new high-tech toy can compose, play and enjoy music along with its owner. It can even be attached to your music player. It will retail for 4197 Yen, or about $41 US.

A number of switches on the nose, head and other points of the iDog robot enable it to play music and express emotions with colorful illuminations, the Japanese toy maker said. It can also change tones by sensing the movement of the owner's hands and waggles its ears and paws in time to the music.
