A better investment would be just to spend $200 on a good Oppo player. ]]>Feb 22nd 2009 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/Feb 22nd 2009 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/Feb 22nd 2009 12:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/Feb 22nd 2009 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/Feb 22nd 2009 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/Feb 22nd 2009 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/...first if all...

I wonder if that's one of the reasons Creative went after Apple so adamantly? I mean hell, if you can't manage to support your own products in a sensible fashion, find a way to go after the stuff that the competition is selling!

I used to be a HUGE Creative fanboy, but since they discontinued the best player they ever made, The Creative Vision: M, and over-diluted their product line with a ton of small-capacity DAP's that everyone forgets about before they even manage to come out, I gave up caring about what they do. Hell, they can't even figure out how to market their products successfully!

Oh, to think about what a company once was...

The sound would be so bad on top of the already bad sound from ipod, it's not even funny. Whys the only company that can get a digital signal out of ipod in this digital age is a small Audio company (Wadia). Why nobody wants an spdif out of ipod? Is the $5 parts for spdif too much to add in the design for AAPL ($91.20)?]]>Feb 22nd 2009 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/Feb 22nd 2009 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/creative-quietly-intros-movieworks-hd-ipod-dock/

$250 isn't a ton for what this product does. DLO is roughly the same price, no DTS. Meridian is double, no DTS.

So although I can't stand Creative products, I think this needs a second look.]]>Feb 22nd 2009 4:40PM
