Totally agree. If I had one reservation/annoyance about it, it's that even Creative make their docks and speakers for the fucking ipod! They make one of the best media players (it also does VERY good video, people!) and they don't make a standalone dock you can plug it into if you want to listen to it at home?? I tried several speakers, and every one of them sucked. Then I bought this

which works like what it says it is (Pure-Fi Dream). But of course, it's exclusively for ipod. You CAN plug in the X-Fi, but not dock it. You have to go "around the tradesman's entrance" and plug it in via a crappy 3.5 jack. You get none of the features of the Pure-Fi Dream: no scrolling titles, no remote control, no nothing.You can't even see it in the dock because it has to sit at the side like some poor distant cousin who isn't really liked and who nobody wants to talk to.

Goddamn it! When are these people going to realise that the only thing really holding them back is that their customers --- their customers --- are being forced to buy ipods in order to use something like this, which I had to do. And I don't use the ipod anymore. I bloody hate itunes!
