The iPod can now be purchased in huggable form, as Princess International launches an iPod pillow.
Import 16-inch iPillow iPod Radio with Audio Speakers is a giant-sized iPod , compatible with any MP3 Player.
The player slots into a pouch at the back, while the volume can be controlled from the cushion.
Powered by two AA batteries, the iPillow is currently available in the US for $17.99, but may soon also be retailed in the UK.
It also includes an FM autoscan radio and is decorated with all the iPod's usual visual features.
The iPillow will compete with the PillowPod, which was created by Funhouse last summer.
Available in pink, purple, green or blue, the "fuzzy, super-soft 15-inch square" is equipped with universal speakers that can connect to the iPod, other MP3 Player or stereo, according to Gearlog.
The gadget review group described it as "absolutely impractical, but pretty irresistible".
