direcow 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 My main question would be "does it support an external DAC?". there is a dock - so presumably yes, if it's anything like their ZVW and ZVM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dictatormax 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 From Hardwarezone : Preview - Creative Zii EGG with photos http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?cid=11&id=2971 Hands-on with the Creative Zii Egg with video http://asia.cnet.com/crave/2009/07/30/hand...eative-zii-egg/ "Though the company has clearly positioned the Zii Egg as an OEM product for other companies to adopt, Willie Png, vice president of Strategic Business, said there will be future Creative-branded products that will make use of the platform. He did not reveal any details, but said such a move will allow the company to showcase what the Zii platform can do in consumer products." "According to Cnet, Android won't be shipping with the device, but developers will be able to download it later on through a firmware update.-epizenter" From me: in the video(around 1:26), i saw the screen with [dialer], [contact],[messaging] . what can that mean?("no cellular radio in this product" - refer to top "in consumer products" ) [zii player] can be seen as well (mentioned by epizenter). [8036 firmware? time for 4-D! ] Thanks to epizenter for the updates. http://www.epizenter.net/news.php http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/27/apple...ely-atts-fault/ will future zii product(s) be able to seize this opportunity? and from brahmasoccer09 at epizenter: http://img27.imageshack.us/i/capture9e.png/ http://www.epizenter.net/e107_plugins/foru....php?213694.210 maybe a launch is near?
