"Focus on the big idea, leave the nitty gritty to us. Showcase your innovation on an industry-certified open template. With a market-ready platform, enterprising developers can make quick profits, thanks to speedy time-to-market advantage."

So i assume they'll release a version to the public, but it sounds like they're basically selling it as a vanilla model that developers can customise for their own needs. Given the feature set, it should be awesome and unfortunately expensive...

As for battery, it's got a 1200mAh in it, so if someone would care to guestimate the current draw it should be pretty easy to work out how long it'll last with say 80% efficiency?]]>Sep 15th 2009 8:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/

Comparing the Zii EGG and ZuneHD is like comparing peaches and nectarines. Let's see, both are:

-play music
-play movies
-play games
-have internet connectivity, browsing
-can run 3rd party apps
-have HD video output

The only thing the Zune HD doesn't have is GPS and a camera. How do you figure they target different markets at all? Look like dead-on competitors to me.]]>Aug 31st 2009 4:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 10:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 31st 2009 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/
He does know that it will only be sold to devs, right? The only thing that will remain the same is the OS(es) and the internal Zii guts.

Wonder how it will stand up to Tegra in a benchmark.]]>Aug 30th 2009 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/Aug 30th 2009 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/To me, this sounds like this this _is_ hitting the store shelves, with at most slight cosmetic changes ('peel off this protection film-sticker for example).]]>Aug 31st 2009 2:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/video-creative-zii-egg-development-kit-gets-a-second-look/
Either way, I did find this on Youku.com which is Android on Plazma

Not sure how old it is.
