Ever heard of a Google search? Try searching for ZMS-05 outputting 1080p HD. The Zii Egg already packs these specs (minus the 3G capabilities). Creative isn't playing games here - they're dead serious about Stemcell Computing, and the way I see it, it's only a matter of time before it's realized to it's full potential (hopefully the Zii Summit will help with that process).

I can't wait to see this product out.

Sigh...you WON'T get 1080p on the device screen...it's the TV out that that is referring to.]]>Dec 1st 2009 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/
The phone display isn't 1080p, it can output 1080p through the mini HDMI. This is similar to the Zune "HD" which has a normal resolution screen and can output 720p.]]>Dec 1st 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/

A guess as to the 4G iPhone spec:

Almost double the screen resolution of current iPhone
Thinner, more like the iPod Touch
MacBook like battery for extended operation
Improved wireless file sharing
5MP camera with LED flash (new battery will support this)
Major OS upgrade featuring true (well managed) multitasking and a Nokia/Windows mobile like intelligent home screen showing all your pertinent messages, tasks, reminders etc.
Improved graphics (as reported)
Some other unique Apple innovation]]>Dec 1st 2009 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/Dec 1st 2009 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/Dec 1st 2009 6:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/
the new iphone will be the same as the 3g or 3gs... just it will be called 4G

Lets start by getting a few things straight based on Apple's history with the iPhone:
1) I highly doubt that a 4G modem will be in the next iPhone iteration. When it was originally released, it only supported edge due to concerns over battery life. Couple that with the fact that 4G rollout will be minimal in 2010 across all carriers and I doubt there will be no 4G.
2) How much thinner does the iPhone need to be? Seriously, I think all of these devices are thin enough--they are getting to the point where they aren't ergonomic for people to hold. Personally I find my Storm to fit my hand better than my brother's iPhone.
3) Apple needs to fix their exploding battery issues before they tackle anything else pertaining to batteries. Plus, people would prefer a removable battery...
4) As long as Apple sees itself on top of the competition, then I don't see much innovation coming from them. If you look at the 3GS and 3rd gen touch, you can really tell that Apple is resting on its laurels here.]]>Dec 1st 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/
"As long as Apple sees itself on top of the competition, then I don't see much innovation coming from them." I think he nailed it They don't advance the phones for any reason but to sell them and don't add features unless they have to. They don't need to add 4G right now, in their minds, because they still are selling well for mostly 3G networks. Also, the phone has no need to be thinner.

I'd love an update to the iPhone as the last one was a huge disappointment to me - but I am not expecting anything too spectacular unless another phone company has a comparable model that starts making up ground in sales fast and then poses a threat. ]]>Dec 1st 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/Funny how you fanbois seem to mention Apple in every single engadget article.

I think it's an honest mistake for them to make. Don't be such elitists guys - when you think of phones you don't think of attaching them to the tv to watch HD programing. In fact, that sounds absolutely uninteresting to me. I would likely never do that, so its own actual screen resolution would be what I would care about - not what it would send to a device I will never attach. ]]>Dec 1st 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/Dec 1st 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/zii-trinity-mobile-platform-packs-1080p-punch-looking-for-oem-l/This is what they mean by 1080p.
The problem would be how you would use your really.
If your watching a movie and someone calls and also space on the phones flash memory vs streaming. 1080p movies are between 10gb-20gb
