also amazon has a track record of reaching in end users devices without their permission to delete books. I don't want an e-reader with that technology.

mine's in Singapore according to fedex

I sent a support message to them but I have not heard back yet..... hopefully the zii will get out of the vaporware stage soon

I'm embarrassed that you are a fellow Canadian. In Manitoba its "MTS" not Bell or Telus, and the phones work just fine with bluetooth connectivity. Are you capable of making a post without using the word fail?

The apple fanboys are going crazy on this one, but that will never change.

well speaking of the Zii Egg, anyone else pre-order the dev unit? I cant wait to work on this thing.

in Manitoba the majority of coverage is CDMA so we get a terrible selection of phones, I could connect to my phone with bluetooth and use this as a phone instead, sure it means carrying 2 devices around, but like I said all the phones are shit so that is a given. and then you can run whatever app you want without the mobile companies shitting on you.

Nice commentary on the Zii, your confusion matches my views. I was listening just to hear if there was any new info on it.
I really hope it really slaps apple in the face (not an apple hater per say, but their app store BS shouldn't exist). Then the whole 1080p/camera's/android pushes the envelope. Imagine hooking this up to a monitor, and a usb kb/mouse (amusing the usb can be used as an input), all the sudden its a 200-400$ computer that can do 1080p video, web browsing etc...

I hope he wins

slightly? 1080p video is above what an ipod/netbook can do, you need a dual core or expanded graphics to come close to that. it has 2 camera's, its what the ipod should have been. gps.... ya thats a huge deal for me, why buy a dedicated gps when this thing does it. I think i'll setup a company name just to order one, its a great deal even at 400$

since this is android and open source, could any company make a standard style game controller that kind of snaps to the body of this thing?

you could have shoulder buttons and dual analog sticks etc....
