We are no strangers to Speakal’s adorable iPhone/iPod Speaker Docks. They have brought us the iPanda, iBoo, and iPig. Well today they have just launched the new Cool iPig. So what make this dock anymore special than the others, well for starters this pig looks bit more futuristic and it also is the first dock to respond to hand gestures and signs. The Cool Pig has built-in IR motion sensors, just place your hand in front of its face and it will start playing music, when you place your hand on the top of its left ear the volume will increase or place your hand in front of its nose and it will stop playing the music altogether.
The pigs snout has the controls for playing and pausing the tracks and those eyes are the speakers. The docking section on top of the Cool iPig will dock and charge the iPhone 4 and other iPhone devices as well as dockable iPods. The controls on top of the pig are motion sensing for volume and skipping tracks. The Cool iPig has an internal rechargeable battery and that battery can be removed. It will last for eight hours at a time so you can rock with your iPig outdoors away from an outlet.
The Cool iPig has a total power output of 23W and is a 2.1 speaker system with a sub and stereo speakers. The internal amp has 15W of power and the Cool iPig uses a bass reflex system. A wireless remote allows you to control the music on your iPhone from across the room. Other input sources can be used with the Cool iPig if they have a 3.5mm output. The introductory price for the Cool iPig is $149.99 and you can pre-order now with a promise of delivery before Christmas.
