Creative PlayDock Z500 Speakers
The last time we saw this speaker dock designed for the Creative Zen Vision:M and Zen V (Plus) DAPs was when it was called the TravelDock Z500. Although it's now dubbed the PlayDock Z500, the system's specs haven't changed since then. It still features high-performance drivers, Creative's Wide Stereo Effect, and an integrated subwoofer with bass control.
The Z500 can be powered with eight C batteries (16 hours of continuous playback) or with the included power adapter (unlimited playback if you're on top of your utility bills). Like the TravelSound Zen V system, the Z500 is equipped with an antenna to take advantage of the FM tuner built into the Vision:M and V Plus players.
Available in Singapore on Black Friday, the PlayDock Z500 is priced at $200.

The remote does look a little funny,almost like tetris.

With plenty of power, this should have some decent output.. hopefully this won't take another year to arrive in stores here in the US.

2.1 is a 2.1 speaker system
2 satelites and 1 subwoofer
@alex the X-Fi Sound System Z600 is a 2.1 system for the vision m
look at the creative website for more information but it should cost about 400$

Does anyone have experience with the Playdock? What's the sound like? Last year I bought a Zen Vision M, and I'd really like to get speakers so I can use it at home as a normal stereo

I too would like to read some reviews on the Playdock - thanks.
