Ok, iZ is a dancing, prancing, flashing, jiggling, wiggling, googly-eyed little robotic speaker that you plug your MP3 (or almost any music source) player into.
Here’s a snip fron the iZ product page:
It’s not easy describing something as weird and wonderful as iZ. The boffins behind this impossibly cute creature call it an “interactive animatronic DJ/speaker” – which it is, but you’re probably still baffled, aren’t you? iZ But – and this is a big, fat, hugely entertaining but – you can also use iZ to compose your own wacky tunes. How? By pressing and twisting his various body parts, of course! Confused? You should be, because iZ is one of the strangest musical thingamabobs we’ve ever had the pleasure to play with. Standing 9″ tall, with three posable legs, two goggly eyes, trombone-shaped ears and a light-up nosecone, iZ looks like it has just stepped out of a cartoon drawn by an escaped lunatic from the Planet Tharg. Playing your music collection through iZ is entertaining enough, as his nose changes colour and his eyes bounce to the beat. But press iZ’s belly and the fun really starts.
Watch the iZ in action in this video (WMV) it’s super cute!
