To complement its swimming pool blue case (they call it Sky Blue, but I know better), the Answer features a aquatic blue-backlit LCD screen…

Woofy the Cable Dog

The Nintendo Wii is arguably the most clean-lined, minimal video game system ever designed. Up until now, there hasn’t been a good way to keep system’s accessories looking as presentable.

The Wii WeDock gives you a nice way to keep your Wii-mote and Nunchuk controllers neat and tidy when you’re not using them…

USB Mad Dog Speakers

These whimsical Mad Dog Speakers are perfect for any canine lover. The pair of black and white dogs plug into your USB port and let you kick out tunes from your PC or any other audio device with a stereo mini plug.

Don’t expect to crank your music up to 11 on these though. Since they only output 2-watts per channel, I wouldn’t expect too much in the volume department…
