Creative recently announced the addition of the XDock HD - the Only iPod Dock that Upconverts Video from Your iPod to HD Resolution and your Music to Xtreme Fidelity.

“We designed the Xdock HD so that all the movies, music and photos that
you carry with you on your iPod can be experienced in HD in your home,” said Steve Erickson, VP of audio for Creative. “The Xdock HD transforms your iPod from a portable device into a high-quality HD entertainment system.”

The Xdock HD connects to a home theater system via HDMI, or it can be connected with component or composite for video and analog line-out or optical line-out for audio. While it docks and charges an iPod, the Xdock HD outputs a menu to an HDTV screen which users can navigate with the included wireless remote to select videos, music, photos and podcasts
stored on select iPod models. Users can also adjust video settings including skin tone correction, luminescence sharpening and color saturation. The remote also controls audio functions including volume and the X-Fi Crystalizer(R) and X-Fi CMSS(R)-3D.

The Creative Xdock HD will be available in Spring 2008 and includes one X-Fi Wireless Receiver to wirelessly connect to a pair of remote speakers for $399.99. Additional X-Fi Wireless Receivers will be available for $99.99.
