Ziio 7 & 10 Squeeze Into The Already Crowded Tablet Room.
The tablet market is a market that most companies are trying to get their foot in and Creative is no exception. Much like the Apple trend and other popularized large screen players, Creative have come out with two large sized models – 7-inch and 10-inch – I suppose if longer legged models work on the catwalk, bigger screened models work in the tech industry. The Ziio 7 which is at a high-colour 800 x 480 and Ziio 10 at a low-colour 1024 x 600 (names states size) uses X-Fi audio processing merged with apt-X’s new audio codec allowing for high quality audio over Bluetooth with reduced lag – perfect for wireless headphones and speakers. Another interesting aspect is that both models use resistant touchscreens instead of capacitive, bringing back the ol’ stylus – possibly for cost reasons? More details after the break.
Big and bigger also comes with an HDMI out port and a front-facing camera. The HDMI allows the integrated Zii ZMS-08 chip to decode 1080p video if they so wish. They both run on Android 2.1 but there are some hopefuls that, well, are hoping for a 2.2 upgrade. Both sizes come in either 8GB or 16GB. Reasonable sized memory for reasonable sized screens on reasonably good players with a seemingly reasonably good/great audio & video playback.
