$110 for the standard models, $125 for the limited edition versions.

Who makes it?

Vestalife

Why should I care?

In the crowded marketplace of iPod accessories, the Ladybug's stylish design still managed to turn our heads.

How would you describe it? 

Design's the thing when it comes to the Ladybug; after all, it's just a pair of speakers with a subwoofer in the back. But Vestalife has come up with a clever look that's almost as retro-futuristic as the iPod itself, right down to a soft rubber casing that I suspect will win the approval of female iPod lovers. For the fellas (and edgier gals) Vestalife has teamed up with Element Skateboards for two models that have more of an urban vibe to them. As for the specs of the Ladybug, it's a full-fledged iPod dock thanks to its USB port, and it also includes an input for non-iPod devices and an A/V output so that you can watch your videos on a bigger screen.

When can I get my hands on it?

Early February.

What's your verdict?

Buy.
