4 out of 5 stars quality product.......2007-12-22

Gave our 14-year-old daughter this docking station for early Christmas present and it is nice. Setup and operation must be simple because she's never asked a single question. Sound quality is great - better than any boom box we purchased for her in the past. A little pricey for a docking station and fm radio compared to all the ipod products out there but I have no knowledge of their quality. This station does have a remote which is obviously handy for laying around in bed while playing your Zen that sits on your dresser. She controls all sound functions plus can search her play list with it. $170 was more than I thought I'd have to pay but there are few choices for the Zen mp3 players. I am happy with the sound and quality of the product though.

1 out of 5 stars Bad Business all together.......2007-12-19

I looked here at Amazon from a link provided by my wife to buy this particular product. It was "Out of Stock", so I found the Cambridge Soundworks website and found that they still had some "In Stock". I placed my order and after 7 days of them processing my order I called them. Apparently the item I ordered was "Out of Stock" and I must have been able to order it before they could update their site. The Customer Service Rep also told me that it usually takes them about 24hrs to update the site. So I asked why was I not contacted at all about this after 7 days?
So I cancelled my order there and had to come home with hat in hand about how one of the big presents for my wife's Christmas was not going to make it for the big morning. She then found it on Amazon again "In Stock", again from Cambridge, so we ordered it...again. Amazon sent us an email the next morning that the item was in fact "Out of Stock".
At this point I can only believe that both companies are in the business of bait and switch on the holidays and I think it stinks. I build websites that have ecommerce...I know that there are ways to control your stock up-to-date even when other people are selling your merchandise. I am only left with the conclusion that they are taking these orders just to secure orders, knowing very well that they will not be shipped anywhere near Christmas. This kind of practice would be okay if it was stated anywhere during the ordering that it was guaranteed that it would not be shipped until date X, but even on Amazon there are ads all over to take advantage of quicker shipping to make sure you get it on Christmas.
Buyer beware. If they can't guarantee it, then don't do business online with them.
Amazon...you shoud review your list of "businesses" that you do business wtih as well.
Is the product good? I don't even think it matters at this point. I'm just upset that I now see this product again for sale on your site when you know damn well it's Out of Stock.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent sounding Speaker System!.......2007-11-14

Excellent sounding Speaker System! The remote works from a long distance. I am completely satisfied with this product. It is worth every penny!

4 out of 5 stars Playdock for Zen.......2007-10-30

Amazon delivered the unit two days early even with the free shipping. The more I deal with Amazon, the happier I am with them. The sound out of this little unit is fabulous for it's size. I have a 1500 sq ft deck and this little guy will fill it with rich sound. I have been using wireless speakers from my home sound system until I got the playdock. It's functionality is everthing I wanted except that the FM antena doesn't work with the 30gb model of the Creative Zen M. I did read that on some of the reviews but then at least one review said that it did work. If anyone knows how to make it work that would be wonderful.

3 out of 5 stars remote functions limited with Zen V plus .......2007-10-29

I recently bought a Playdock Zen. I found that the remote control back (left pointing arrow) and scroll (up and down arrows) functions do not work with the Zen V Plus player. I assumed the remote was broken, but I was told by Creative technical support that by design these functions do not work. This means that one cannot access, scroll through, or select from the menu, making the remote mostly useless. The documentation does not explain these deficiencies, but rather describes functions for all buttons on the remote. This product is poorly designed.

This is a great way to retrive data from a crashed computer (i use 1 fer people that lose there computer-retrive all the data i can to redo there computer). i own 2 of these. and love them, only problem is the size (just big enough to fit a hard drive).. not like the old version (u could put in a cd rom if needed). they intend to heat up a little faster them the old plastic cases. but all in all great price fer backup safety!!!
