VRLabs just tipped me off on an article they have about Zii. ‘Stem Cell Computing’ is the tag-line that Creative are using and the product appears to be a processing engine built around two ARM9 cores aimed at a wide range of consumer focused products.
Its difficult to tell exactly if it’s a single chip computer or a complete computer ecosystem including hardware and software but just by looking at some of the marketing images, it’s clear that one of it’s target markets is low-cost connected and media devices. MIDs.
Creative is going to make the SDKs available to developers today, and is also working with many OEM partners worldwide to bring out products based on the ZMS. One familiar name is MSI, which will be working closely with ZiiLABS for their future low cost, high performance Internet-ready devices.
We’ll keep a close eye on this and try to get more detail ASAP.
