Create Generic sObjects in Apex?

Is there a way to create generic sObjects in Apex? I'm looking for an equivalent to this:

string lateBoundType = 'MyCustomObject__c';
 
sObject obj = new sObject();
obj.Type = lateBoundType;
 
XmlDoc fields = //Create fields XML here
obj.Any = fields;
 
obj.Create();
 
Thanks!

Not according to the Apex Code Developer's Guide - page 30 states:
 
 
The new operator still requires a concrete sObject type, so all instances are specific sObjects.

Hey
 
Does this help?
 
 
string lateBoundType = 'MyCustomObject__c'; 
 
sObject obj = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(lateBoundType).newSObject();
 
XmlDoc fields = //Create fields XML here
 
obj.Any = fields; 
obj.Create();
