Over the course of the weekend, i busted out my iPod and played the Patton Oswalt bits from the "Last Laugh 2006" Comedy Central special, and he showed me some wrestling videos on his Creative Zen player. It was the first time I had screwed around with a Creative player, and I have one big problem with it: the interface. The buttons aren't uniform in how they... work. This button works to get you here, but its counterpart doesn't work to get you in the opposite direction. VERY non-intuitive.
However, I think I have the answer to get Mike to finally give up all of the imitators once and for all:Meet the Convoy iPod Docking Bay.
It's a transforming iPod Dock that converts from tune-blasting robot into an 18-wheeler. The dock is licensed by Apple, and is available for pre-order now for $144.99 from BigBadToyStore.com.
Now, I know what Mike's thinking: the REAL reason he doesn't have an iPod is they're so damned expensive. Big deal. When will you ever see a Transformer dock for the Creative players? Or, bog help 'em, the Zune? That's right, you won't.

If I recall correctly, there's also going to be a Soundwave iPod dock coming out sometime in the future. Hasbro, or Tiger Electronics actually, is also doing a Tf version of the iDog; it's a Movie-style Bumlbebee station. Me, being a total nerd, will be getting them all.... and triplicates of the Bumblebee. :D
