iZ

It's always the crudest of things that gets people interested, and if that is the case then you'll be glad to know that the iZ also burps too.

So what is it?
Well for starters, it's a great design, looking particularly funky in any of the shades available and it's fully poseable too!

So what is it?
It can be used as a pretty good stand-alone audio speaker which you can plug into your iPod, MP3 player or any other musical equipment. iZ has a nose that changes colour and his eyes bounce to the beat.

So what is it?
It's designed by the creator of those infamous Furbies. The iZ is an interactive toy designed to hoot, rap, jiggle, burp and fart and jig along to music.

So what is it?
It has four modes of 'play'
1: Play mode gives you full control over the sounds that iZ makes. By pressing it's belly, flicking it's dangly head or pinching, twisting it's ears, adding scratching DJ noises and altering the beat and tempo of the tunes.

2: In DJ mode, iZ takes control and mixes by himself, but you can change the mix by pressing his belly and speed it up or slow it down (Sorry about the Bucks Fizz lyrics!) by twisting his melons man - sorry, I mean ears.?!

3: Pretend he's a radio by twisting his ears - I don't know either!

4: Plug and play along with your iPod or whatever. He'll even sing along with his random drivel too.

So What is it?
Your guess is as good as mine, but I do think it's pretty cool.
