Creative has introduced Creative Xdock Wireless which works as a charging/docking station for your Apple iPod and plays music in Xtreme Fidelity that is beyond CD quality via Creative X-Fi Wireless Receivers in any room in your home.

The Creative Xdock Wireless can also connect directly to stereo speakers or a home theater system to play video, photos and music in DTS surround-sound. The Xdock also has a wireless remote which can be used to operate the iPod when docked.

"We designed the Creative Xdock Wireless so an iPod can easily become the audio platform for your entire home," said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative. "Your iPod goes in the Creative Xdock Wireless to play music through Creative X-Fi Wireless Receivers in as many rooms as you want - all upconverted to Xtreme Fidelity."

This Creative Wireless Xdock was designed to be used with the iPod video, iPod photo, iPod Mini and iPon nano and is expected to be available in March 2007. The Xdock will be priced at $299 and the X-Fi Wireless Receiver speakers will be $149 each.

Paypal and Ebay have takenup measures to offer its customers an increased security while logging into their Paypal account to avoid any data theft from phishing by introducing Paypal security key.


The security key is actually a small electronic device, designed to clip on to a keychain, that calculates a new numeric password every 30 seconds. PayPal users who sign up to use the device will need to enter their regular passwords as well as the number displayed on the key whenever they log in to the online payment service.

"The key is really going to give users one more layer of security for their accounts," said Sara Bettencourt, a PayPal spokeswoman.

The Security Key could be an important tool for PayPal, whose Web site is frequently spoofed by phishers looking to steal user account information.

PayPal users who want this extra level of security will be able to buy the devices for $5, but this fee will be waived for PayPal business accounts.
