wireless sound streaming off the ipod - Creative's solution

Found this on engadget today

It looks as if Creative decided to manufacture accessories for iPods.
I watched a demo (here), looked at specs and it seems interesting, pricey as well.

Is perhaps someone better informed or can make more sense out of the specs -
the transmitter is a sort of external X-Fi card with both USB and iPod connector,
am I right?

Its like intel manufacturing crossfire chips for AMD. Creative will be recieving money for this, promoting the ipod then people will buy this product and bolt it on. I would want one if its an XFI as the sound quality of ipods normally is pretty sub-standard.
