Steve Jobs must be wondering how he missed such a great opportunity.
Sega have announced their latest creation, the idog.
According to the Japan Today news site, the four-legged automaton features a number of switches located on its nose and other parts of its diminutive body that are used to create and play music. It has other buttons that cause the pet to light up or express emotions. The mechanical beast also features onboard sensors that detect and react to movements when it is held in an owner’s hands.
According to another Japanese news site, ASCII24.com, the idog has an audio input jack located at the base of its left hind leg that gives owners the chance to program the pets with their favourite devices, including Apple Computer’s iPod digital music player.
The toy is due out in April, according to the news sites. It was unclear, however, where idog will be released and what the price would be.

Even the box the toy comes in looks like an iPod rip off.
