Pig out with this iPod dockMonday, March 21, 2011Manufacturers are going hog wild over iPod accessories -- and with more than 160 million of these digital devices sold to date, you can understand why. So now we have the iPig ($139.99; Speakal), a compact iPod dock in the shape of a…well, I think you can figure that out. But these pink, yellow, or white swine also try to distinguish themselves in audio clarity: The iPig delivers 25 watts of total power from five speakers, including an integrated 4-inch subwoofer. Touch volume controls are located on the ears or you can use the bundled wireless remote to crank it up, add 360-degree “sound spreading,” or extra base. The unit ships with a handful of iPod cradles to fit various iPod sizes (supporting all models except for the Shuffle), plus an auxiliary input jack lets you connect non-iPod MP3 players. At the very least, it’s a heck of a conversation piece when left on your desk at the office.

You can also expect plenty of opinions, rants and tips. I am a syndicated technology journalist and author. I've spent the last 12 years waist-deep in gadgets, gizmos, gear and games. I'm very much living the "digital lifestyle," whether I'm flashing barcodes on my BlackBerry to board a plane, backing up my laptop's data onto a USB memory watch (Ok, so I know it's geeky) or jamming with my three kids in Rock Band. Like you, I love this stuff. So come back every Monday and Wednesday for new entries. --Marc Saltzman |
