The sound quality is phenomenal, and the video quality is also top-notch, as is the build quality.

As for you BEN - YOU LIE!

There is nothing even remotely resembling a mobile phone in the Zii EGG - NOTHING!]]>Oct 16th 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/Oct 28th 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/Oct 16th 2009 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/Oct 16th 2009 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/Oct 16th 2009 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/...and everything else, incuding the kitchen sink.]]>Oct 16th 2009 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/Oct 16th 2009 4:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/
The Zii EGG is technologically far more capable than anything currently available in the DAP/PMP arena.

Let's see what Creative (one of the very 1st portable media player manufacturers) does with this technology... Looks promising so far.]]>Oct 16th 2009 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/
Not sure what youre trying to say or you seem to think im bashing creative when im not! Creative has a lot of potential, but they need to work on marketing, better craft their products to make them look a little more stylish, and they need work on the hardware, as people are complaining about load/boot times, and bugs.

you say creative makes the best dap/pmp... wrong! First, archos most earliest av series if you did your research killed any pmp that creative came out with back in same year the two companies came out with pmps. sure creative was first to come out with pmps, while other companys were a few months off, but they did a better job at it! Secondly, not to mention apple's ipod and sony's walkman line of DAPs have the best sound quality ever since they first came out!

Funnily enough, this; just like 99% of the other KIRFs, run on Win CE.

Ouch.

The Zii's purpose is to showcase the sheer strength and the capabilities of stem-cell computing. It's a great alternative to the other SoC solutions available these days. Creative's hopes are riding on licensing this tech to third parties and thus, competing with Qualcomm, TI, et al. Their own retail plans are frankly not as important as that.

The KIRF market has enough low-cost ARM based platforms available and I seriously doubt if they'd go through the pains to replicate an entirely new chipset. (That link about the Zii roadmap doesn't make any sense within the context of the article, btw. It IS Q4 2009 now).

Any average Joe who has been through a slow day at work or two knows this much by now. But apparently, smarmy gadget bloggers are above that.]]>Oct 16th 2009 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.mycreativefansite.com/2009/10/creative-to-bang-on-zii.html]]>Oct 16th 2009 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/
What else can you say about a company that inexplicably disguised a hard-drive-based MP3 player as a Discman, released later players that required you to carry a CD of proprietary drivers around with it (and had no Mac support), and has since churned out nothing of interest. These guys practically invented the MP3-player market but lost it to Apple by simply producing idiotic products.]]>Oct 16th 2009 4:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/Oct 16th 2009 5:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/Oct 16th 2009 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/
Flash Memory killed Creative.]]>Oct 16th 2009 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/
Creative had some promising-looking devices later, but they weren't recognized as drives when you plugged them into a USB port. Talk about a blunder. You had to install proprietary software on any computer to which you wanted to connect the player, and to top it off there was no Mac version. It's a portable device. You want to carry software around with it (but not on it)? Just astounding. Is this still true?]]>Oct 16th 2009 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/And the final device will cost around 200$-300$. I think even if it costs 350 it'll be a heck of a deal ! By the way please don't even mention the ipod's applications in reply to me, this has android so problem solved]]>Oct 16th 2009 5:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/Oct 16th 2009 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/...and seemingly there are many more developers waiting in the wings for android...

Android: sure, its welcome. But I'll not be running it on my Egg .. Plaszma is just *too* nice in the performance department by comparison, and frankly I'm a little bored of Android .. as a developer.]]>Oct 16th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/Oct 16th 2009 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/zii-egg-android-installer-arrives-next-week-consumer-devices-no/Oct 21st 2009 3:24AM
