iDog
 |
The iDog is a robot dog toy designed and manufactured by Sega Toys, marketed by Hasbro[citation needed] in the United States. iDog receives input from an external music source, such as a MP3 player, lighting up and "dancing" to the rhythm of the music. It is also marketed as the eDog in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
Although the original iDog was designed by Sega, the iDog Amped, iDog Dance, iCat, iCy, iTurtle, and iDog Soft Speaker were all designed by Hasbro.[citation needed]

iFish
A piscine version of the iDog, the iFish plays music and moves in a swimming-like motion. The iFish also has an internal selection of music. The iFish comes in white or black, with a 3.5 mm audio cable for audio input. Like the iDog, it is touch-sensitive.
iCy
The iCy is a penguin version of the iDog. In addition to playing music, it dances and the LED lights on its stomach flash in time to the music. Unlike its predecessors, it has only two touch sensors for user interaction: its tail, which is designed to annoy it rather than reward it, and its beak, which is used to pet it. It has various "emotions" which change based on user interaction and music played.
Hasbro sells decorative clothing for the iCy, called the "Chill" series, including hats, flipper-warmers, feet-warmers, and scarves.
iTurtle
The iTurtle is a turtle version of the iDog. It also comes with a plug cable (3.5 mm) with 2 touch sensors on its tail and head. It moves its shell up and down, shakes its head side to side, and taps its foot.
