somehow i don't think we will be seeing Zii and in the hardware we see here. More like Creative is selling the platform. We might be seeing other phone maker using Zii to launch their own Android phone.

load of potential this Zii have.

Phone with HDMI output ah?...so nice.

@~tera~
good post bro.

Contrary to what others may think,while this is probably just a prelim reference design,I like it.No BS and if any OEM are up to game this they can simply touch it up and just add logo.Leaks are abound about the real G-phone coming and this Zii looks like it can win the job.

it just like Creative Zii Egg marketing .. they will start selling the development kit 1st before selling it on the market .. but dunno about this Zii trinity .. i hope creative will join adventure with other famous handset manufacture to release it .. if it become a success

@eq8all
thx bro .. it my pleasure to keep ur guys understand as long as u read it .. since not much attention on this creative new multimedia proc ..
about g-phone .. at 1st ... google did say they wont making their own device for android .. but they do .. for now .. looking forward to it .. hope the design and hardware wont be fairlure

another new android baby .. ~ technologies run too fast ..

the design dont have wow factor .... my2cent

yea .. i agree with this .. creative should do more "creative" design for physically hardware .. not only creative for spec...
the screen length looks so thin ..high but thin .. and what the hell is that 3 button ... but still can forgive-able coz 1st model .. 2nd or third or so on should be nicer

design looks too simple and not eye catching at all.. too bad..

this phone has tons of potential!!! HDMI output is awsome!
