Toys and Games Reviews of I-DOG AMP'D - WhiteCustomer Review: A bit noisy Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas. She seems to enjoy it. It has a little personality of it's own. It cries/wimpers when it's hungry and you have to feed it (music). The lights are awesome and synch nicely with the music. You can even "mix" the music when you run your fingers over the face. I bought her the Barbie MP3 player which she hooks it up to. It will also hook up to her cd player or her computer speakers (if you have a headphone jack on them).
The down fall I found is that you have to turn up the volume with the tail and it seems to be a bit flimsy. Also you have to turn it up all the way to try and drown out the motor noise of the unit and it still seems to be louder than the music and is a bit annoying when it's moving.
Also the clothes that are available for the regular idog don't fit this version very well. The ear pieces, hat and scarf seem to go on without any trouble, however you really have to very carefully stretch and pry the sweater on and the booties for the feet don't fit at all. We also purchased an idog carrying bag for her. The idog amp'd is a bit large for it so the strap that is in the bag to keep it from falling out doesn't go around the idog amp'd. Therefore, You will have to be very careful that your idog amp'd doesn't fall out when carrying it. Also the location of where you plug in the wire to the idog amp'd is in a bad location and really you can't have it plug in to your mp3 player while in the bag and zip it.

In a Nutshell: Amusing toy with cute, compact design | At a Glance Ages: 8 years and up Requires: 3 AA batteries (included), plug cable (included), and music device (not included) |  | | Cool Techno Design Rhythmic dance moves and a futuristic design make I-Dog Amp'd the coolest companion around. This hip hound is a speaker system for your music player. He grooves to your tunes and shows his emotions with bright LED lights. Just plug him in and press his nose to get him started. Watch as he bobs his head and taps his paw to the beat. A switch under his chin allows him to be turned from "try me" mode to "listening." Little rubber paw pads on the bottom of his feet add a cute touch and help keep him in place. This toy comes with three AA batteries, a cable, and instruction booklet. Disco Dog Not only does I-Dog Amp'd have a taste for music, he needs to be taken care of like a real pup.When I-Dog is ecstatic, happy, or even sick his dancing light patterns let you know. Music is like kibble to this pooch and when he needs more, he'll bark occasionally. The faster the lights blink and the more he whines or barks, the more music he needs. But he doesn't have to be hooked up to a musical device to be "fed"; he can hear through his built-in microphone. Place I-Dog Amp'd near a music speaker with the volume at a high level and watch him react! If music is not played for a while, I-Dog goes into hangout mode. Play Test After a grueling testing process, I-Dog Amp'd came out a champion. This toy has all the latest technology and a cool, compact design. When he's not moving to the sounds of your music, the pup acts just like a real pet. Although he is a doggone-good dancer, his motorized moves are a little loud and work best on a smooth, hard surface. However, you can easily shut these off and just listen to the music play. Our testers were transfixed by the dancing LED lights, moving ears, and rhythmic paw taps. The speaker system isn't especially powerful, but you can use his volume-control tail to "amp" it up a little. And although the I-Dog doesn't download or store music, it can be used with almost any music player (not included). A great size for children, this portable pup fits just about anywhere.
