It’s a speaker. A wireless speaker that can roll…

it’s a suction cup to put your ipod anywhere and listen to it with an external speaker or something…

Says it’s a toy. I’m guessing it responds to music in some way. Fun, rather than functional.

It’s a floor polish and a dessert topping!

they appear to be chairs to me, white plastic chairs.

Or maybe some sort of suction cup thingy.

-Brian

it’s a cute dancing alien. you put your iPod in and it wiggles about to the music...like those accursed dancing Santas you see around Christmastime.

Is “it” a two-wheeled stand-up auto-balancing scooter controlled by leaning that will “change human transportation forever?”

Wait… wrong inventor.

I have no clue… yet.

My guess that it is a wireless speaker system for the ipod, or other music source as stated in the article, which synchronizes movement according to the flow and type of the music.
The movement happens with the legs of the product near the top.
The bottom part of the legs are created of what appears to be suction cups, which allow for easy placement on diffrent surfaces without having it fall over.
I am pretty sure there will also be synchronizing lights on the product it self, which also will adjust to the music being played.

The structure seems to be of some creature of some sort, because according to the shadow in the digitalized picture of it, it seems that it has two parts of some sort that hang out, might be where the sound comes out, or just for decoration(ex. eyes, lights..)

-Anton

Appears to have some functionality like a Sony Aibo - a robotic pet/toy that responds to its surroundings, perhaps, in this case to the music. This may be very similar to audiocubes’ idog that is available in very limited quantities. Honestly, if this is something like an Aibo for my iPod, I would love it.

A walking talking iPod docking extreme sound buzzing musical entertainer.

Iggy

It’s a video iPod.

From the shadows produced by it, it looks like a round object with three protrusions at the top, supported by two struts. The struts appear to be able to rotate or move at the socket. It’s round pod-like body is a dark blue, shiny material, which I think may or may not be translucent.

My guess is that it’s a toy that moves to the beat of your iPod, like a visualizer but… physical. The iPod probably docks into the main body somewhere, and speaker projections are on the top.

it’s a stand/combo alarm clock.

Is it a fat Hawaiian musician? I’m pretty sure it is…

It’s a speaker you plug in via the headphone jack that undulates and gyrates to the music as it’s playing from your iPod.

Its a baby bouncer

Elliott Scott: “Is it a fat Hawaiian musician? I’m pretty sure it is…”

This is the best post so far, very funny…
LOL… Love IZ…

Its easy - in ipod robot - move to the music sound and dance

Its an all singing all dancing ipod entertainer .

I don’t know what that thing is?
But I do know that the people that invented it aren’t being paid enough!

It’z alive!!

It’s a sort of iPod dock/speakers/spaceship/alien thing—you put your iPod right inside of it so it is totally enclosed. In response to the music, it lights up and moves around. But it’s gotta be cordless—so it has a rechargeable battery in it.

It’s the new singing Roomba!

i think its a webcam with iPod connectivity

It iZ an alien lifeform from outer space. It’s torso encases an iPod. Nothing more, nothing less.

I believe iZ exactly what iZ says it iZ.

It’s a music player case, shaped like some sort of space alien, fully poseable, with integrated speakers.

Could be chair or lounger with speakers around the headrest area.  Something along the lines of this (found a la internet):

Maybe it would have a visualizer that wraps around the eyes or a massage function that matches itself to the music

I think it’s an insect or animal type thing that sort of gyrates or dances to the iPod songs. It probably has external speakers. Would be similar to those toys from the 90s with the flower with sunglasses on, that would dance to music.

No, no, no ... Its clearly a stereoscopic eye-phone/rest with force-feadback and audio playback, featuring full range base-response through the eye-socket and skull-bone. Simply mind-blowing.

Hmmm, I guess it depends upon what your definition of “IZ” is…

Perhaps it’s an iBall? (pun intended as with all i* products) I hope it’s more fun than an iDog.

It’s an ipod extension. It’s a little robot/person that you can commond to dance etc…

Can somebody judge from the shadow? ...

It’s a humanoid robotic iPod “caddy” that follows you around and dances to the music.

It is obviously a widget, with an optional whatzit, with a dock for a whypod.

Who can’t see that?

It’s me.

It’s a speaker that uses the material it’s attatched to, to make sounds. I.E. It will stick on to windows or other materials and it will vibrate them and produce sound as a result.

A robot that moves to Ipod tunes.

it is a audio sensing moving desktop toy robot with 4 legs that has a microphone and line in jack so that it can groove with the music

They are speakers that have suction cups on the bottom so you can stick them on any smooth surface.

Looks like an alien person with a blue ball on his back...that obviously gets down with the music.

i want one

It is a plama globe that pulses to music.

Could be..... it’s a sound-to-light device that responds to changes in music.  Maybe with some form of animatronics built in (think Chris Evans and the dancing Flower Pots!)

It’s a tripod iPod audio dock with inbuilt desk lamp and integrated earphone storage system.

suction cup feet creature that dances to the sounds of the ipod, and even sings along.  (possibly using the soundbug technology to stick to glass to make noise)

I think its a visual display that will have a variety of choice images for visualization of the music.

I’d say that people might be expecting too much… lol. It looks like the legs shown are just supports for a blue sphere. It would seem to me that the sphere would light up and change with the music… and it might not even have a speaker to let you hear what music it is reacting to.

iZ my iPod’s new best firend!

“I’d say that people might be expecting too much… lol.”

Oh, my friend, maybe they are not expecting enough…

probably just a wierd stand

i think that it is a toy for kids just starting to listen to music. Maybe it’s some sort of furry alien (to give it a shape) with an iPod inside it, and it plays music when the kid touches a certain part of the toy.

It is a bowling ball iPod speaker dock that rolls.

It’s a chair that has a surround speaker system.  You can wirelessly connect to your stereo, itunes, or pop your ipod in the little holder and enjoy.  At least that’s my story and I’m sticking with it!

Its a chair with speakers for Ipod hookup.

It is an audio hook-up with color lights that change to the sound of the music.

.......very nice, dont know what it is tho.

some sort of dancing fan that reacts to the wonderful sounds of what we all know and hear, the iPods Mp3 playback.

who cares what it is in 10days were sure to buy one anyway, and a clever designer will never need to work again (if he doesnt want to)

It’s part of a mad plot to take over the world.

Watch the magic pumpkin...watch the magic pumpkin…

it’s an ambient music seating device with cool curves and abstract lines that your plug your iPod into so you can sit and listen to music without headphones and without disturbing others…

Either that or it’s the finger tips of the alien from the original 1050’s war of the worlds movie…

It’s some sort of dance globe that responds to music input with lights or some other sort of action…

Looks like some kind of speaker system.

how do u enter

From the shaddows, it sort of looks like one of those little robot dogs. As the shadows on the “head” could be the little ears.

Due to the shape and size of the foot base, it is predictable it does not “walk"/"dance"

Re-entering more info to my reply above ^^^

I know what iZ is! Go to http://www.zizzle.com/ and View Source (Command-Option-U).

Here’s what it looks like:

First, you can listen to the music at http://www.zizzle.com/iz.mp3, but you alos con read this: id="iz sounds”.
So I can say it’s something that makes noise (duh) but it must be something you can make noise WITH and but the noise ON your iPod… We’ll see…

at http://www.zizzle.com/iz.css a link lead me to this http://www.zizzle.com/images/
they might post more images there.

the musix cool

the shadows are impossible. you can see that there are multiple lights around it.

From looking at the site and listening to the sounds, I’ll guess it’s an interactive electronic instrument, like a drum pad, that you can connect to an iPod, and make percussive noises while your music plays.

it looks like a little alien dock for your ipod that dances to your music

Im guessing its similar to those flowers you used to be able to get that danced to music. Im guessing this is the same, but it plays the music.

After looking at the shadow of the device it appears to be a docking device on top of a type of globe.  I would guess the globe contains lights or electrical pulses that would be synchronized to the music of the iPod.

It’s a wireless, bluetooth Triffid for the new millenia!

That’d be tribble, not triffid!

What I can see from the pics is that this thing has 3 white legs attached to a blue, translucid sphere. This sphere has then an extension on its upper part. This extension has what appears to be two “ears” and an antena. Because it has to do with the iPod then it’s got to do with music. So probable the “ears” are some sort of speakers, the blue sphere could be the base, and the antena could be used to remote control the ipod. Being it a “toy” then probably you can remote control the thing also. Syncronization with music might be included, though the “legs” don’t appear that suited to movement… probably also has some docking station for the ipod, but then also movement would be somewhat limited.

Bluetooth headphones

Whatever it is, it looks really cool!

maybe its a device that shares music betwwen ipods, i mean you plug in two ipods and they syncronise and you can choose what music to exchange. Like they say it is gonna be different and that sounds quite different.

i think its’s a docking station with a microphone antenna and it has speaker ears. it also has something that dances to the music on your ipod, like the antenna wiggles and the speaker ears move or something

it’s a chair for very lean people-not on the atkins diet.

“plays well with ipod or any other music source”

if that is so i assume there is no specific ipod dock but instead a more general audio input via cable or a microphone. I guess it is probably a really amusing luminous, dancing, wiggling, gyrating, and wiggly audio visualization. Somehow I can’t help but think that there will be some kind of “game” or “purpose” to the audio/visual combo. There is probably some kind of electrostatic sensors that you can touch to change the appearance of the motions and lights.

iZ is a new ergonomic human interface device which will allow wireless interaction with our music players.

it iZ a portable speaker for iPod

A voice modifying microphone!

i believe that iz is simply a special speaker sort of thing that comes with an attachment for your ipod/mp3 player. i think the attachment sends the data to the iz via some type of transfer thing (radio waves, wifi, infrared etc) then no matter where your ipod/mp3 player is iz will play your music through its interesting speaker design, also some line in recording may be possible hence the orange microphone. o and it might dance too

its a screen and speakers for playing movies through the ipod.

some kind of wireless doohikie that works off a radar concept for recording.

iPod Satelite speakers or maybe a iPod support

a toy bird

I know what it is. It’s ugly.

Also, those aren’t photos. They’re poor 3D renderings.

It’s a wireless iPod (or otherwise) speaker/kerokie machine, that you can take with you in the shower (suction cups?).

It iz a robotic ichicken that plays your music and follows you around. Comes with a belt sensor that you wear. Has a special calender function. Chicken will peck you to remind you of appointments(optional).

He/ She/ It/ iZ , looks really next!! Where and when will it be available?

Weren’t we supposed to get some additional pictures leading up to the 8th?

WHERE’S THE NEW PIC!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  wasnt there supposed to be one yesterday??? iZ obviously not a calendar

like every other piece of ipod accesory: white and overpriced

It’s a fun musical hat!

futuristic speakers

It’s a dancing toy which you can connect your mp3 player.  It will dance to the music and also interact with another iz or with you (like with a furby).  It has speakers for ears and a micropohe antennae is the centre of it’s head which can be used for singing along karoki style.
