A First Look at the TravelDock Z500


We were the first to tell you about this upcoming dock, and we now have some exclusive pictures straight from the COMEX Convention Brochure (thanks to one of our members from Singapore) . This is one of the accessories we ZVM owners have been waiting for! The TravelDock allows you to put the ZVM into it and keep it charged while you play music through it's large speakers.

The TravelDock will not only work with the 30 and 60GB ZVM, but it has interchangeable plates that will allow you to put in the Creative Zen V (Plus) as well. I wonder if they will also make it available to iPod owners as well, since Creative is now part of the "Made for iPod" lineup of accessories. Also included with the speakers is a nice remote to allow you to control your player from anywhere in the room. No word yet on whether the dock will have TV-Out connections so that we can control video with that remote. Hopefully the dock will be able to be used with future players, as that is something Apple has been able to accomplish with their product line of MP3 players. We don't have a price to share with you yet, but check back here for more info in the future.

Why does the ZV:M have to stick out of the top? It looks silly that way! They could just move it down a bit and make it flush with the speaker.

Oh, and I want this.

I don't know why it is sticking out ... the only reason I can think of is to have something to grab onto to remove it? [ image disabled ]

Maybe the player isn't down all the way. Notice the darker area below the player. That might be the adapter. Image is very low quality so it is hard to tell.

Looks good. I've loved having the current dock plugged into my home stereo system, which makes it easy to listen to the ZVM...until you want to skip a track and have to get up, cross the room, and do it.

I'd actually love to see them make a dock with remote that didn't have the speakers attached. But I'll take this in a pinch.

I hope this is available in Australia. Will it be sold in stores, or only online?

damn. Compare that to the new Sansa Base Station.

This thing is sleek. It connects to your computer, has line-out to plug into a stereo, a remote and charges the battery on the sandisk. As much as I like this travel dock, I really need something like this from creative.

Looks like in the picture they are showing that it docks on the bottom. At least it looks like it to me. Looks like pin connector right beneath it.

How heavy do you suppose this is?

The Travel Dock is now on the UK Creative Website for sale but it does not claim it can also be used by the ZVM

See the link [Linky]

Does anybody know if this unit will be released for the vision M as the one on creative site is just for the 'V plus'
