  • I like how people bash the iPhone after it's been out for years. When you consider the fact Apple makes only one cellular device and dominates the market, while other companies have to make 3 or more phones to be able to compete with or exceed Apple's one and only device, I'd say that's an accomplishment for the iPhone and Apple alike.

  • The touchscreen looks horrible

  • i think HTC should take this and put their sense ui on it. that would be amazing

  • yeah man this thing really blew the ipod touch out of the water . was the true ipod killer.. hahahhhahahaha lol SIKE.

  • Too bad the "Stem Cell processor" appears to have completely fallen off the map of things to come. Zii Labs hasn't been giving this nearly enough publicity.

  • Is this a prototype phone to demonstrate the chipset?

    I hope, because the phone looks ugly.. designed in 10 minuts. Just like a prototype.

  • @Dilekz Ugly :s... let me see... Its squared designed... It has a big Plasma screen... Hot damn it looks like the i phone!!! :O

  • @razzp25 The iphone is gay, and practically useless compared to this.

  • @razzp25 except the iphone sucks dick and this looks way better

  • holy shit i was about to buy an archos 5 or zune hd, screw that, im getting this!

  • @sanman312 Did you buy this? what do you think?

  • This device will never see the light of the day. It appears to be so buggy and most of the hardware features don't work because they can't integrate them with firmware updates. I wish creative would grow a pair and just release it under there own brand as a flagship PMP. The PMP market is becoming thinner and thinner in favor of subsidized smart phones, where by data plans are forced on you.

  • @myspacenuts lol u can buy it now... So u were wrong when u wrote your comment...

  • @razzp25 As a consumer product or development product? I realize you can purchase the device as a developer, but it's not yet, at least to my knowledge market ready?

  • @razzp25 Hi.

    its an lcd screen.

    Only the dev edition is available.

  • can you release this thing already

  • Long Live Blender 3d!!!! :)

  • so is this a phone?

  • um its nice but i am still with the zune hd

  • I have a zune hd too :)

    they just released a twitter app :)

  • Everything looks good on it but the battery. I don't think it will last to long

  • its like $399... and its loooks sweeeet..

  • ... Did the iPod Touch just get its ass kicked?

    On a different note, this could really use an AMOLED.

  • hm, I wonder what they can do with their stem cell processors on smaller or more portable media players.

  • i just bought a new nano so i could put videos on youtube its 175.11 in canada lol

  • How much is it and how can i get it in England ?

  • heroe, I dun understand you but I believe you are a BITCH. You can suck my big black dick, u piece ov shit.

  • Looks nice

  • i'm selling my lame iPod nano for this...Apple really sucks...

  • whats StemCell Computing mean? and when will the consumer version be released?

  • im not an expert, but i think it means that instead of using computer chips that each do something different, it uses one chip that adapts to do all of the functions so its more efficient. hopefully that makes some sense

  • were can i get one Lol!

  • You can buy these at their site. Search Zii on Google. But it is $399 for 1 at 32GB. Just wait for the consumer release.

  • About how long do you think that will be? Lol

  • Lol the release? A very longggg time. Check out the Zune HD.

  • This offers a lot more features than the Zune HD. You can't really compare the two.

  • Exactly...

  • ipod touch the best? your a fucking retard the ipod has shit ass audio and PLUS it isnt near as fast as this mp3 player PLUS you can install linux on this and it also has x-fi audio , gps,hd cam, wifi, bluetooth, and a whole other stuff this kills the ipod touch

  • iPod touch 3G is out and the 32GB and 64Gb has HD but it is not enabled yet and eventually it will be enabled with a update. I dont care about x-fi audio, gps, cam. So imo, ipod touch is still better. Don't bother responding to this comment.

  • Exactly how is the iPod touch "3G" (2gs) Better then the Zii Egg? The zii egg can output HD.

  • you think you can get away by leaving something out eh, the zii has a stemcell processor ipods don't, and how do you know for sure that hd will be "enabled"

  • know your shi before you talk apple is the best music device sellers so this zii can suck my big cock because by the time this piece of shit comes out for the consumer release the ipod will be 10 times better and for you your a piece of shit haha but i would love to hear your opinion young fellow have a nice day sir :)

  • oh ya man! the iphone has changed so much over the past 3 years!! they added a compass and video recorder and made it faster!!! douche bag you would like some other dude sucking your cock

  • 10 times better? ipod can never do that without copying other vendors, oh and let's see you have 8k vid views and yet you don't have any vids yourself? OH you have nothing good to show , OH and ipods really do suck you just never tried anything other than ipod thats high end you probably get those $10 mp3 players at target or something

  • hahahahaha wtf does uloadig videos have to do with been good????? maybe its called i dont like uploading vids bitch! hhahaa $10???? bitch im not a broke ass like my ipod is worth way more than wut it would cost me to have your mom in bed with me bitch

  • really? ipods have shit music transfering management and the sound quality is shit it distorts like shit @ high volume only dumbasses would buy ipods because they think other people would think their rich and cool the aftermarket mp3's are the best

  • o yea thts y ipods sell more than mp3s bet ppl dont even know what thefuck a zii is sounds like a fuckin wnna be wii ipods r the best and theyhave better functions for a reasonable price 300 fuckin dollars for this shit??? nigga ca go suck a dick if he thinks ima buy an mp3 tht costs 300 dollars but i be your dumbass would and say "hey look at my zii!!" and then two weeks later tht shit breaks and ur a dumbass cuz u dont have a fuckin warranty atleast with ipods you do

  • they sell more because everyone has them and they want to look cool any 5 year old would know that, and also i would spend $300 + on a mp3 player, also you said later my shit breaks? well take a look at the samsung p3 it has a glass screen and is literally unscratchable unlike ipods, you obviously don't know shit about good sound quality or ever tried the real stuff as in creative makes sound cards so there made for SOUND QUALITY STUFF, and as for apple they make wat? mp3's and wanna be windows

  • ipod's sounds quality sucks man there gay i hate all ipods and mac computers

  • oh yeah niga you said ipods have better functions? well the zii can install linux and it has 256mb dedicated ram to run Android and Plaszma ipods have no chance against the zii, stfu kid and go learn about technology

  • Hahahahhaha lmfao u really r a stupid motherfucker arent well heres news for ipods ha unsctratchable screens now look it up dumb shit and yea probably this piece of shit suppirts linux but y the fuck would i want tht on my music player its a portable music player thts wut its 4 if i want a computer ill use my fuckin laptop bitch and i even wonder if any1 would b stupid to pay $300 for this shit

  • Who wouldn't want linux on there mp3's? this isn't an ordinary mp3 its a breakthrough in technology and plus it's also a all in one you ever heard of that dumbfuck, and also all ipods are computers because they have a PROCESSOR YOU RETARD get your fucking facts straight lito kid

  • ok u stupid fuck "breakthrough in technology" bet u in 1 year this piece of shit wont even exist plus the games r super gay iPods kill this shit straight out and if this would be better than the iPod and kids "did wanna look like theyre rich" y do i c normal ppl with them?? ok ima go go buy an ipod just cuz i wanna look rich??? you really need 2 get ur nerdy ass off ur computer n start seeing the real world dumbass bitch

  • calm down !!!

    But you could admit this product has some nice features that the iPhone should have. But, in my mind, iPhone is still better. (for now !)

  • you asshole thats cause NORMAL people don't know shit about mp3's and you need to improve on your grammer you don't even put an effort into your words, and also 1 year from now apple who be leeching technology from all other mp3 vendors like they do now.

  • Hahaha funny how say i should improve my grammer " apple who be leeching" and ok have you ever that normal people arent stupid and actually want to waste their money on something thats worth the price being asked for i have had 4 iPods and javent had a problem on any of them and i have had 3 mp3's and they all fucked up 1. Battery would waste fast 2.the touch screen wouldnt work 3. It. Kept locking by itself iPods actually have quality

  • you buy those "cheap" mp3 players, go on google and type in ipod sound quality vs. others, and what do you use a mp3 player for? music , so you have to have sound quality in them, unless your used to distorted audio

  • hhahaa so your pretty much sayin that your not a normal person? " thats cause NORMAL people don't know shit about mp3's " haa bitch you're just a stupid fuck that thinks your shit is better cause you know bout audio. Ok have you ever thought that you have to have the best fuckin sound quality to just listen to some music at least i'm not gonna pay $300 fuckin dollars just cause it plays the same shit just with better sound quality. Then you go off sayin ppl buy iPods to look like theyre rich

  • actually i know alot about audio i build my own subwoofer boxes and have a shit load of subs/mids/ and tweeters and i know when stuff sounds good or not, you probably just listen to distinct audio on your 2.1 sound system

  • i dont give a fuck as long as it plays my song

  • yeah, thought so

  • what new ipods? just better looks but the same shit ass audio? lol see, you go for the more popular thing instead of the good stuff, you would go with gangstas cuz they look cool and not with the nerds cuz they look like geeks but the nerds will have a better life

  • what little video games? i play fps games and simulators , wat do you play runescape?

  • Did you fail your English class because you wanted to hang with your gf. that sentence you just typed is a run-on too many "ands"

  • nah i'll kick your ass cuz i know karate and you want to look stupid because you don't know proper english?

  • get a life...or are u gonna swear at me and make no sense like all ur other comments?

    ridiculous

  • YOU BITCH IT DOES SCRATCH DUMASs i had one and its shit

  • u stupidfuck the new ipods have a sctratch proof screen look it up if u dont believe me

  • The web browsing was way more slugish than the iPod touchs.

  • will this be compatible with itunes?

  • price price price.. needs to be competitive... and i dunno about paying 400 dollars for the dev model over 280usd for a platinum zunehd retail model. The way I see it is, if Creative wants to seriously vie for market, they need to drop the price near or after zunehd launch day to be involved in this segment.... otherwise it's going to be a cult kind of device. (which isn't bad to me, but doesn't make you money)

  • The Dev model is expensive because it includes a development kit. Similar to those used in console gaming.

    I heard somewhere the retail price is supposed to be $199 but that seems to good for a device that claims to be this powerful.

  • This is the best of the best. I think Zii Egg. Love the name. I don't need it to be a phone. Hands down better than iTouch and Zune HD. Zune HD is good and Zune Pass rules. If Zii Egg can do the same with Rhapsody that would be great also. Zii Egg I must have one...

  • Comment removed

  • If it ends up being cheaper then current gen ipods. I might consider buying one.

  • Is that a cell phone

  • I like this player ...but the design is not unique.

  • the Best of the Best of the Best

  • Whooaaa, its 3D capabilities put my G1 to shame! The front camera is also something I really want, I hope the battery life is good though. It would be an everything killer if it also had a keyboard.

  • As cool as this device is. It's no competition to the ipod touch or even the Zune HD. The average buyer has never heard of it. Most buyers know about the zune. And just about everyone has heard of the ipod touch.

  • ZiiLABS is a subsidiary of Creative labs. The product will most likely be marketed as the Creative Zii, as a follow up to the Creative Zen series.

  • this phone seems cool and better than iphone ?it cost less than iphone rite? issit out already?

  • No. They seem to be giving time to developers to make apps before it's launch.

  • Seems cool. But what kind of media center will this be compatible with.

  • creative is making one for regular music listeners but this ones for developer ill just wait

  • I think some of you miss the point. This device is intended for developers. But what the hell, it has a cool os. Plus you can choose from android and ubuntu mid, just to name a few.

    Im a developer myself, and Im definitely buying this.

  • Send that iPod touch straight to HELL!!! Fuckin hate iTunes.

  • ipod touch killer? i dont think so....

  • it is biggg time lol

  • hhaha yes yes

  • it is, but people will still buy itouch. just look at the zen. it has twice the features of a nano, cheaper, bigger screen, and people didn't buy it.

  • hd cam and wifi thats sick!! im getting one for sure!!

  • me too wait okay everybody meet mr mee ttoo

  • wow, this thing is pretty sweet! when will it be released?

  • the battery life is what is going to put a seal on me buying this thing, if the battery life is high and the sound quality and eq options are amazing along with the rest of the features that have been mentioned to be one this device than i will call this the ultimate portable media player. i hope they make an option for all the features in a separate device that's not a phone cuz i could care less about using it as one.

  • I think I may have found that replacement for my Zen Vison W

  • Alright I'm sold. I'm buying the 32GB Zii. Forget the Zune HD. This is 1080p what your talking about.

  • yeah, i was like

    "holy shit, zune hd? finally a player better then itouch!"

    *sees zii egg, shits pants*

    it's got a fucking hd video camera. that's soo fucking cool.

  • Its a 1.3mp camera on the back, it may have a high resolution but the quality would still be like a cellphone.

  • VIDEO, NOT PHOTO. and besides, who's gonna fucking buy one for their main camera? not me. but it's nice to have an hd camcorder built in.

  • Firstly, virtually every cellphone with 1.3mp camera has video capture. Secondly, it's misleading. It's calling it HD because it is over 1000 pixels lxh, but it isn't 1080p, it only supports that as output. Idiot.

  • it records at 720p... which is, in fact, by definition, hd. just not full hd. adding "idiot" isn't exactly needed here, since we don't know eachother. for all you know I could be an expert in this field.

    don't name call people unless they really are and there's a purpose behind it.

  • So show me proof that it records in 720p? Also, your swearing and arrogance justifies the insult. And for all I know, you're not an expert in the field, otherwise you wouldn't assume facts with no evidence.

  • The H video format is better than only m4v fir an iPhone also expansion slot makes sense as well as front camera for skype or video chat and the operating system is already proven ala palm pre iPhones only have a sensor in the front for auto brightness

  • Argh now I have to decide on to get the Creative Zii or the Zune HD. I think Creative is better than Zune/Ipod, "EXPANSION MEMORY CARD SLOT" WHICH IS GOOD AND BETTER THAN THE Ipod. The other thing I have a question bout this is what's the point in adding a GPS on a PMP video player for? And did you take the Zii name from the Wii?

  • get the zii. a 32gb one costs the same as a 32gb itouch.

    it's not really a pmp, it's more like a pocket pc. that's what it's marketed as.

    no. it's not a wii name knockoff.

  • it doesnt seem as smooth as an iphone

  • if everyone thinks this would make a great phone leave that in your comments let them know your ideas on it this is there official youtube channel let them know it would make a great phone i you comments

  • I love creative. I've had 2 zens (both work flawlessly), and this looks super cool.

  • He said the front camera will be able for video conferences, so does that mean webcamming?

  • yeah, and video calls over wifi and stuff.

  • Will this device be available as a phone?

    That would be awesome then!

  • no, it's a pocket pc (but not like a pda, more like pocket enertainment system)

  • Uh that does look like my iPhone for sure except my iPhone doesn't do entertainment all the time, except better productivity.

    Uh have greenpeace done a review on Creative products yet?

  • This deffinately out does my itouch

  • For a nice Price, for sure i will buy it

  • Will this device be available as a phoneversion???

    I love it!!!

    Hopefully any firm will take this as basis of a phone

  • Damn that whoops my touch's capabilities

  • gotta to love it

  • is the case on the ZMS-05 stay on or can u take it off

  • Thanks for showing BBB for your demonstration. Also, I love it when phones have sweet cameras on them.

  • it's not a phone. it's a pocket pc / mp3 player

  • Ah, well, that's good. I don't do well with commitment.  That makes me actually want one.

  • creative is a great company, I wish I had never bougth an i-pod.

    I think sandisk sansa's are good too, but zen is known for better screens and sound quality.

  • Actually this device has the capablilities of an addition of a radio transmitter; it can be added to it, so technically it is a phone with the right hardware additions. If you look at the android OS it shows contacts and dialer (no its not for skype becuase skype has its own icon but not included just yet).

  • appena esce è miooooooooooo

  • Hmmm... with the bluetooth, can I connect it to my phone for web access everywhere? And Google Maps streaming??

  • how much will it cost?

  • 199 $

  • I hope Apple takes note of this for future iphones. If it is open platform it should run iPhone OS as nicely as it runs Android in that clip (I think) It has OpenGL hardware support - nice....

  • haha! just found out what to do with my 400$ that's been sitting in my bank for like ever lol :D

  • I am gonna dump my ipod touch after Zii get released. I am really tired of apple controlling what I can install and what I can't on my device.

  • It looks pretty awesome. I'm staring at my iPod Touch right now, thinking...

    "Which one is better? A Jailbroken iPod Touch 2g, or this new Zii Egg, with it's awesome capabilities... and it's drool-worthy specs?"

  • Zii... loads better

  • is it me? or are cell phones becoming more and more like computers????

  • Android pwns Iphone.

    We hate the Apple controlled draconian Digital Restrictions Management locked down thing that is Iphone. We likes freedom to do what we like, and install what we like. We like Android.

  • And we like Jailbreak.

  • hope to be release soon

  • gona buy it ;)

  • okay so its obvious. the iphone and android are the two biggest fighters now, well with all the rumors, but im a android fan, and i've always hated apple, but the thing in dont like about apple is that its the same, while like android can be costmizable on the backgound, it can also be worked on, like the HTC Hero, unlike apples where you get little squares, but i do think its good, but i HATE it, cause its apple... but thats just my opinon. if you reply back i wont, cause i dont care bout you

  • This looks great! But I'm sorry to say that, owning an iPhone myself I disagree with some of the things people have said.

    "its more customizable than apple. nicer background, and simpler."

    The Thing is, Apple have revolutionized what a phone can do. Alot of the selling points of this are taken straight from the iPhone such as the multi-touch screen. And the iPhone looks alot easier to use and self-explanatory. Anyway, just thought I'd get my point across, this does look awesome!

  • HD camera for HD video recording.. this phone is also open source so that alone should be enough to be excited about. 32 GB of Internal memory. 3d Accleration, HDMI Output?? This device is beyond anything we have seen yet.

  • simply amazing.. hopefully whoever gets this will be open source friendly unlike Apple iPhone. I want to worship the Android!!

  • did you go to their website?

  • I have a t-mobile G1 and can't get enough of it, i know the OS is android, but what's the make of the phone?

  • stemcell?

  • omg!

    I want this device!!!!

  • ey iphone lover i hope you know that it has a chance of killin the apple, cause of 1 reason... when chrome OS comes out, no one can use google based products on mac or apple... and its more customizable than apple. nicer background, and simpler.

  • Can people please stop talking about "Chrome OS" and learn about "media hype" instead?

  • dude chrome is offical, but its comming out around 2010 or 2012

  • Chrome OS is going to happen. It's only a Linux distro, but this time Google is involved with the development of it.

  • 'no one can use google based products on mac or apple' ?! Huh?

    I assume your talking about Google Chrome OS. Of course Macs will be able to run it. Just like they can currently run any other Linux distro plus Windows, as well as OS X.

  • is android the phone or a program in it ??

  • Seriously? Android is a phone OS. it's been around for about a year. T-Mobile carries the Google G1, and the Google MyTouch, both preloaded with Android.

  • dude android is also for more, its announced theres going to be a Chrome OS, andorid, is also ment for mp3s and tablets.... look around

  • I was replying to ChillieBuffalo, sorry. I know this, I think it's perfect for just about everything. I love that Garmin has adopted it to be their new GPS OS

  • Android is the Google Mobile Operating System which is currently being distributed for mobile phones, media players, and netbooks.

  • yea

  • im gonna get one!!

  • Android ...!

    Love Google ...!

  • Android is great!

  • 8==o---

  • WOW it looks awesome!

  • anyone know if you can use skype on that phone?

  • ARE YOU RETARDED?!

    Look at the specification of this device! Iphone is like a chinese toy compared to this one!

    Creative! Please, make it a phone!!!

  • WOW... send me 1 for teste plz !!!

    =D

  • holy shit how is tht not in the market right now you could make a whole ass load of money with that thing

  • thats awesome

  • which one its yours?

  • if only it could phone? would be perfect
