Creative’s new offering for mobile entertainment uses their Zii Plaszma OS to power the Creative Zii EGG. Sporting a touchscreen interface, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth an accelerometer and a potential 64GB storage capacity, half onboard and half in external memory cards, it does a lot more than the Zen ever thought of doing. Capable not only of HD video playback it can output 1080p video to a suitable display. Unfortunately, Hardware Zone seems to imply this incarnation is a proof of concept that will be released to developers and OEMs
to improve upon as opposed to a consumer level product.
