Not being allowed to own a pet during my childhood has always been a reason that unleashed fits of bad temper in the past years, because I couldn’t just understand why my parents didn’t want me to have a small creature to light my days. But I’ve sworn to have my revenge one day, when I’ll have one million puppies romping all over the place in my soon-to-be home.



Ok, it’s maybe an exaggeration, but I’m entitled to be angry and to threaten with impossible things that might never happen. As a consequence, up until that moment I’ll have to content myself with soulless imitations of those creatures that I was earlier talking about. And a relevant example in this respect is the i-Turtle, that you can see in the picture above.

Don’t be so surprised, of course it’s the i-Turtle, can’t you see it has a bright and shiny white silhouette? So, if you already saw that, what’s with that eyebrow, raised as if there’s something you can’t understand? When a product is white (so very white), then it most certainly deserves the “i”, preceding its name, because that’s what usually happens due to the association made between this non-color and Apple products.



The i-Turtle is what you can easily call a genuine performer, because it plays your music, just like any other speaker, but it also feels the rhythm, dancing along with your favorite songs. The integrated speaker is designed to play the music you most love when you connect your portable music player to this cute little device. But remember! The PMP is not included!

In addition, the turtle comes with synchronized lights that flash according to the rhythm, but if you can’t stand this cheap show, you can always turn this function off. The only thing you have to do in order to make it work is to plug it into your music player and you’ll see the little gadget whining when he feels like listening to more music. But there’s something you should never forget: don’t you dare flick its tail, because if you do, you’re to have a very unpleasant surprise.

Usually, people think about turtles as pets, but you’re allowed now to go to the next level, where turtles are no more, no less than your private entertainers. The i-Turtle can be yours for $19.99 from the HasbroToyShop, but it’s expected to start shipping after February 10.
