Now that's a tasty-looking speaker dock! Say what you will about Creative, but I firmly believe their Zen series devices over the past year have been utterly fantastic - great design, great functionality. But they just don't have the marketing juice to take on the iPod, or the software design skills to create a great desktop experience (though WMP11 is an improvement). At any rate, specification wise, the package delivers 35 Watts RMS per channel (2 channels), and 130 Watts RMS via subwoofer. No firm data yet on what pricing will be when released in North America.
It isn't just marketing, dude. They're on a dead DRM platform with a mishmash of stores that have different standards for everything.
When you couple that with their awful habit of obsolescing devices at a ridiculous rate, and the competition making better devices, why would anyone buy Creative?
Don't get me wrong, they're nice devices, but as a company, they do nothing for me.
