Digital Home Thoughts: Creative Zii EGG Develper Edition Preview

"Creative started shipping the dev edition of the Zii EGG. From a few hours of browsing though the OS is feels like it is a long way from the consumer market. In fact recently the SDK roadmap outlining the various functionality of the Zii EGG appeared on Engadget showing a few months ahead. Below is a few photos of the video preview of the hardware and a quick and dirty look at the Plaszma OS. I stress this several times in the video that this is a developer edition so you cannot judge the OS yet- it is very rough."

My pal Grahm Skee got his hot little hands on the new Creative Zii - a device based around a surprisingly powerful little chipset. This is a very early developer preview, not a finalized product, but it looks promising! I'm not convinced though that Creative won't find a way to completely screw up though - that company drops more balls than a drunk juggling clown.
