DVICE: Who needs Apple TV Deux or to spend an extra buck for renting iTunes movies in HD? This spring, both DLO and Creative Labs will have iPod docks that connect to HDTVs via HDMI and will upconvert standard def movies from your iPod to HD.
The DLO HomeDock HD will upconvert films to either 720p or 1080i, depending on your HDTV’s native resolution, includes a TOSLINK digital audio jack and an RF remote.
Creative Labs’ Xdock HD only does 720p but includes component video jacks for older sets, and also converts a movie’s stereo sound into 5.1 surround. Along with the dock, you get a 2.4 GHz wireless distribution hub that sends your iPod sound to a second audio system in another room.
