Creative continues to cater to the iPod crowd with three new lines of docking accessories for Apple's players, including two with speakers, and one for pairing with home theaters or televisions. The
X-Fi Sound System i600 is a copy of Creative's Z600 for Zen Vision:M, and the
Playdock i500 and
TravelSound i are modifications of the Zen's Z500 and TravelSound Zen V, all three going the built-in speaker route. Finally, the
Xdock Wireless, which we first saw at CES, connects wirelessly to X-Fi remote receivers. From there it's wired to powered speakers or a home theater through line out, digital audio, S-video, or composite. Now let's hope Creative will put some of that iPod accessory income to good use building the next Zen Vision player.

In other news, iPods are blowing up as their owners place them on Creative's new docks...

Wow, so this is the way Creative is going to bury Apple. I guess this is part of their $100m campaign.

Too bad the i600 dock costs ~400 USD.

Great, so they have docks/cradles from Creative for Ipod owners, but no cradle for Creative Vision W owners... Good work Creative, support the competition, but don't support your own products/customers...

That's pretty sleek looking. I'd take one.
