Pig out on tunes with iHog speakers

Speakal has gone whole hog with its popular porcine speaker system, the iPig. Because bigger is apparently always better, meet the iHog.

The iHog takes any iPod or iPhone with a dock connector and makes oink-oinks with four speakers, a 20-watt subwoofer, and more than 28 watts of sound. It also has a 3.5mm jack to connect to a TV, game consoles, or other devices.

Though it weighs around 4 pounds, it's designed to be portable, and its rechargeable lithium ion batteries can power it for 10 hours.

You can touch the hog's ears to change the volume, and its head for playback control. There's also a remote.

The iHog comes in pink and white and is selling for $119.99 until September 30, and $139.99 afterward. … Read more

The audio system comes in the shape of a friendly ghost with design elements that work in most settings: from the bedroom to the office to the kitchen. In addition, the iBoo's small footprint and light weight make it suitable for toting along on the go.

Made to be both an audio player and a decorative piece, the iBoo incorporates design … Read more

This little piggy wants an iPod

This little piggy made a guest appearance at CES, but is now finally here. The iPig is a speaker dock system for your MP3 player, with 25 watts of power for the four speakers and four-inch woofer, giving 360-degrees of sound. Speakal claims it's designed to be environmentally friendly, made from non-hazardous materials.

The iPig has a distinctive way of turning the volume up and down. Touch the right ear of the iPig to raise the volume and touch the left one to lower the volume. It ships with a non-piggish remote control that allows you to adjust volume … Read more
