Creative launches new sleek pocket-sized TravelSound speaker for iPod nano

The speaker has been designed for the 4th Generation iPod nano (Video) under Apple's "Made for iPod" programme. The portable Creative TravelSound for iPod nano includes a FM radio tuner that seamlessly integrates with the iPod - users simply slide the iPod into the speaker and tune to their favourite stations via the player's control buttons.

With four slim microdrivers, a digital amplifier and built-in Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) rechargeable battery, the Creative TravelSound for iPod nano delivers surprisingly big sound and up to 15 hours of entertainment on the go. It also includes an USB port that enables users to sync their iPod with iTunes and recharge both the player and the speaker at the same time.

Esther Kho, Senior Marketing Specialist of Creative Labs Middle East, said:

"The Creative TravelSound for iPod nano has a slim, hand-held design that complements the digital media player perfectly. Because it is so compact, after sliding the player into the speaker you can carry them in your pocket or purse, or hold them comfortably in the palm of your hand."

Kho added, "By using the latest in-speaker and digital amplifier technologies, we have been able to combine real style with amazing performance for hours of entertainment anytime, anywhere."

For extra versatility, the Creative TravelSound for iPod nano comes bundled with a separate speaker stand that enables users to position their iPod in portrait or landscape orientation; the optimally tilted angle provides easy viewing of photos and videos on the iPod. Combining an incredibly small form with fantastic sound, the Creative TravelSound for iPod nano is a great choice for iPod owners who wish to enjoy their favourite music and videos on the move.
