It’s compatible with all 3G to 5.5G iPods and will fire sound out through its illuminated sides. Low-end bass is dealt with by a 3W sub while a 3.5mm jack input also caters for non-Apple aficionados.

Rather like the Wizard of Oz, the Queen's speech, crackers and sprouts, the XMI608 Disco Cube from Ixos is cutting a niche for itself during the festive period. And this year it's back, equipped for the latest generation of players.

If you missed it first time around, you'll not be surprised to hear that it's a speaker for your iPod, complete with flashing lights in time to your tunes, not unlike the dancefloor from Saturday Night Fever. There are two side-firing speakers and a subwoofer on board, volume control and the option to turn off those flashing lights.

And there are cartridges to cope with all iPods, with the exception of the new nano - but one will be available free of charge before Christmas. It's available now from John Lewis and PC World, priced at £59.99.

The Disco Cube is compatible with the 3G to 6G iPod range, and has a 3.5mm jack input so other MP3 devices can be connected to it.

Sound is provided by two side-firing speakers delivering 2.5 watts each, plus a 3 watt subwoofer.

And if all those flashing lights get too much for you, you can switch them off.
