More Creative reviews , RRP: AU$89.95

The good:

  • Unique, supercompact design
  • Integrated iPod dock
  • Comes with a stand, travel pouch, and power adaptor

The bad:

  • Suffers from tinny sound
  • Lacks stereo separation
  • Will not work with any player other than the third-generation iPod Nano

The bottomline:

A solid option for third-generation iPod Nano owners who value portability and integration over top-notch sound quality.

      iPhone 3G owners have a strong incentive to splurge on Altec Lansing's T612. Every other iPod owner should look elsewhere, though.
