Sharper Image iPulse Bear
Sharper Image recently introduced its first child-oriented speaker set, the iPulse Bear. Covered in either brown or white fur, the bear has a belly pouch with a hidden minijack cable that can plug into an iPod or any small music player, though the company says its design takes advantage of the iPod nano's bottom-mounted headphone jack to expose the main screen. Lights on all four paws light up in time with the rhythm and volume levels of the music produced from built-in speakers. By default, the iPulse Bear is powered by four C-cell batteries so that it can quickly be carried into a child's room; an optional $10 AC adapter is also available for owners who expect the bear to remain still during most listening sessions. Sharper Image ships the bear itself today at a price of $40.
