Creative Zii
 

This may be old news, but I don't know how many of you know about this, so here goes.

Creative is working on this device similar to the iPod Touch called the Zii. They currently have a developer version called the Zii Egg.

Links can Explain for me:

• Creative Zii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• Zii EGG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• Zii.com

If it runs android like the phones do(as in it stays up to date) then I will be getting one.

Look at the Zii egg I can see an ipod touch killer. It has many of the features of the iphone 4 in a package that will cost less than iphone/ipod touch

Re: Creative Zii
 

If the real one releases soon, then I will be 100% glad I didn't get an iPod Touch a few months ago. (As long as this isn't a smartphone and actually is just a device with Wifi)

Re: Creative Zii
 

If that thing has GPS/ two cameras on it. Its almost for sure going to be a phone.

Yeah, looks like its pretty much a phone. Maybe not with conventional carriers though.

Yeah, definitely a phone. But from a cursory view of the page, it strikes me almost as a network (read: internet) rather an cellular device.

It also looks like a device that doesn't have a market niche, but is desperately looking for one.

Re: Creative Zii
 

Yeah, that one is the developer edition. Other companies will be allowed to mess with it however they want.
The one by Creative is supposedly going to be a Portable Media Player though (read the Wikipedia Article (not so reliable, but I said supposedly))

I never had a desire for a PMP other than my laptop, but a consumer model of this would certainly have me reconsidering. I hope this isn't scrapped or converted into a phone only.
