Creative announced the Xdock back in January at CES 2007, along with the X-Fi Wireless Receiver. It's rare that I test two separate products in one review, but these two are inextricably tied. Arguably, the Xdock isn't all that exciting without the X-Fi Receiver and inarguably, the X-Fi receiver is useless without the Xdock. They are sold separately, but the pair will run you $300 on Creative's Web site. The concept here is not new. There's a charging dock for your Apple iPod that also outputs video, music, and photos from your library to your TV and stereo. A wireless receiver placed elsewhere in the house will play the audio from the docked iPod, provided it is also wired into speakers. Sure, Sonos has been making wireless room-to-room systems for a while now (a two-room kit, minus speakers, costs $1,000), but the Xdock is a more affordable and simpler option. Although there are minor flaws, the system couldn't be easier to use, and it does everything it advertises.
