I bought this as I had read the reviews online and thought it sounded quite good. When i got it home and switched it on with my i pod in the dock - oh my god!!! it is fantastic. The sound is brilliant!!! There are not enough words to describe how good this device is - buy, buy, buy - YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds great a real bargain for the price. Only improvement would be being able to use batteries so you could take it on the move for days out. Other than that it's fab!!!

I bought this item for my daugther's birthday. this little items packs a big punch. the sound is surprisingly good for such a small item, definately worth the investment - and my 10 year old daugther thinks it's cute, so you can't beat that either

Great sound from the cute looking ipig. Adjustable bass means any type of music played through this ipig sounds really clear. My 11 year old daughter loves it so does everybody else who has seen it, great for a kids bedroom. I would definately recommend this ipod dock.

Bought this for my daughter's birthday in combination with a Nano 4G, having already read glowing recommendations for it. I'm familiar with pro and high-end home and car audio equipment, so I have quite high standards already. Obviously, as a small plastic lump, it was never going to match the standards of "real" equipment, but this little piggy really surprised me with its solidity, the quality and usability of the remote and the sound quality emanating from its eyes, ears and fat little tummy - I was expecting more pork-wality from something so small and toy-like.

If it's lacking anything, it's high-end "airiness", but as a package, it's highly recommended. Despite its diminutive size, it's not lacking grunt in the bass - it plays within its capabilities, without any of the over-emphasized boom-box effect. A separate bass level control allows for some adjustment of the "subwoofer".

It comes with a selection of dock adaptors but does not include one specifically for the Nano 4G; nor does Apple's adaptor fit its mounting points. This isn't a problem - the Nano sits nicely in one of the larger dock adaptors, supported solely by the dock connector. Just make sure nothing hits the exposed iPod (pillow fights?) and you should be fine. I might use my Dremel (Dremel Rotary Tool 300 Series + 25 Accessories) to fit Apple's adaptor into one of the pig's supplied adaptors if I can be bothered.

In summary, don't be concerned about the novelty aspect suggesting toy-like quality - snout to worry about.
