The iPig satisfies both needs with superior sound quality and a unique, aesthetically pleasing design," added Solomon.

• Unparalleled Design Elements - Patented volume control by touching the left and right ears. The iPig's small footprint easily masks itself as a decorative piece and includes rubberized feet to prevent rattling. The smiley mouth lights up when the iPig is powered on and blinks when receives commands from the remote. As GREEN and RoHS product, the iPig efficiently utilizes minimal energy and is designed using environmentally friendly components and non-hazardous materials.
• Remote Control - Complete with audio controls as well as iPod menu functionality
Designer Colors include yellow, pink and white. The iPig retails for $139.99 and includes a 90 full days manufacturer's warranty.
The description makes it appear as if the sound quality will be pretty good. I totally would buy this if I could listen to it in person first.
This is a blog, not the BBC.
Do not enrage the pantomime horse!
WHY IS THIS NEWS NOBODY CARES
the pigs look emo and awesome at the same time
The same reason that the 500,000,000th peripheral for the Wii is news.
I care. If Engadget didn't report this I wouldn't have seen it and I wouldn't have known about it.
Personally the only thing I don't like is the way the front legs stick out. It looks unnatural. I like the yellow one.
Why are you commenting if you don't care?
Don't go away mad, just go away.
aww, my iPod got all muddy.
$139.99 + muddy ipod.
Not tech, its a pig speaker dock, hardly worth news
Seems to me that, speakers are tech, ipods are tech, and the docking hardware is tech.... Guess that makes this tech then...
This is not a tech blog, it's a fashion based consumer electronics blog.
I would like two of those paper-thin classics, please...
Wonder if it fits the 3G iphone
yes. with a dock adapter, you douchebag.
So much hate. Welcome to the Internet, the ignorant will be shot momentarily.

iPod in a pig - Priceless
I just hope they don't attack me in the night.
creepy pigs
This ones belong to crapgadget section!!
It only lacks LEDs on the eyes to blink at the rhythm of the music...
I wouldn't be surprised if someone from that company saw your comment and said to himself "what a wonderful idea!", then went implementing it for the next version.
Spider Pig, Spider Pig, Does whatever a Spider Pig Does...
This reminds me of a very special episode of Invader ZIM.
But now the phrase running through my head is....
"Ride the pig iPod! Ride the pig!"
