Advantages: Looks good, great little novelty toy, cool portable speaker for iPod.

Disadvantages: Drains batteries, novelty wears off, can't play music very loud on it.

Spider Dog, Spider Dog, does whatever a Spider Dog does!!

First there was Furby's now we have I-Pets to play with! The Spi-Dog is exactly the same as the I-Dog but he's wearing a Spiderman outfit!

You can use the Spi-Dog as a speaker for your iPod, Mp3 player or CD player and he'll "dance" while your music plays.

You need to regularly 'feed' your Spi-Dog with music to keep him happy and the type of music you feed him with determine his personality. You can either plug your iPod into him or he can listen to music being played through other speakers. The Spi-Dog responds to music by moving his head and ears, flashing lights on his face and by making noises like barking and growling.

You can also pet him by pressing his nose and stroking the top of his head (light sensor). If you need him to be quiet then just flick his tail.

You can pose his legs and his paws have rubber grips so he's able to stay safe on sloped surfaces.

The Spi-Dog takes two AA batteries and to play with him often you'll need good quality batteries and plenty of them!

The instruction booklet tells you what mood each light pattern represents and the colours will tell you his personality:
Red means he's into rock and punk.
Green means he likes dance and techno.
Yellow means he's a rap and hip-hop fan.

The Spi-Dog is very cool to look at and quite fun to play with to start with but the novelty wears off. As a speaker, the sound quality isn't very good and you can't have your music very loud as it distorts it.

Summary: A fun novelty toy that looks great on your desk even if you stop playing with it.
