Creative has announced a new speaker dock MP3 player owners who want to share their music with others.

The new TravelDock 900 portable speaker system that looks like a sunglasses case promises a big sound from a small package as well as being compatible with any MP3 or CD player on the market.

The TravelDock 900 features a glossy white enclosure, to presumably fit in with either your Creative Zen Vision:M or iPod Nano, and "clamshell" design to protect the speakers when on the move.

Sound is provided via the systems NeoTitanium micro drivers and a digital amplifier while the device also offers Wide Stereo Effect for a broader sound stage.

Creative promises 30 hours of playtime on four standard AAA batteries and Auto-Power Off that automatically turns the speaker system off when it is closed.
