That’s not a bad product at all, an an excellent first attempt at an iPod speaker system by Creative.
It’s not exactly attractive, but if my experience with other Cambridge Soundworks speaker systems applies to this product, sound quality should be impressive.
Not to mention the fact that a video out jack is something every iPod speaker system should have, IMHO.

It runs on battery power, which is something that all the Playdock’s have. If the speakers are at all like the ones on our XM playdock they will be great for parties and outdoors events.
The design is blah, but all that matters are the speakers.
