Creative at CES 2007
Moldova.ORG -- This year at the CES 2007 audio-specialist Creative announced its new products.
The company's new Xdock Wireless comes in two flavors. One, as you'd expect, is for its latest Zen Vision media player while the other is surprisingly designed for Apple's video-enabled iPods. Both versions are otherwise identical. Each features technology to improve the sound of compressed music files and both have line-in, line-out and optical-out audio connections in addition to an S-Video output for displaying movies and photos on TV. He price of it is 200$.
The Xdock Wireless can stream the contents of a docked player (via a 2.4GHz wireless signal) to an unlimited number of Creative's new $100 X-Fi Wireless Receivers. These in turn connect to any nearby powered speaker system. In "broadcast" mode, each X-Fi Receiver within 100 feet will pick up the same stream while "zone" mode lets each receiver-equipped room have different music.
Creative also announced its $130 XMod Wireless a USB-powered device for those who might prefer to stream to the X-Fi Receiver from a computer.
Creative plans to start shipping each device this Spring.
