Creative has introduced the Zii EGG which is an energy efficient handheld StemCell Computer based on the powerful ZiiABS ZMS-05 media-rich applications processor. Its the world’s first handheld StemCell Computer.
Besides its multi-touch 3.5-inch LCD screen, it can also output HD video at up to 1080p. The ZMS-05’s 24 floating-point processors deliver up to 8 GFLOPS of raw processing power, while the StemCell Computing’s flexible architecture allows stunning display of 3D graphics on a small handheld battery powered device.
Features of Zii EGG:
1080p HD Output:
Zii EGG is the first handheld device that can support High-definition output of up to 1080p to HDTV. Instantly implement applications like wireless network-aware digital signboards.
Media-Rich Applications Processor:
The revolutionary chip delivers a superior experience of media-rich applications on a mobile device. It’s the perfect processing solution for scalability, flexibility and low-energy consumption.
OpenGL ES:
The powerful 3D OpenGL ES capabilities of the underlying ZMS-05 processor enable developers to create compelling 3D games and applications that take full advantage of the 42 million textured pixels/sec fill rate.
SDHC Card Slot:
The High Capacity SD (SDHC) card slot provides the removable external storage capacity of up to 32GB which can hold up to 100 digital movies, or 30 DVD-quality movies, or 10 HD movies. Combined with the internal memory capacity of up to 32GB, the Zii EGG can become a 64GB3 battery-powered handheld media hub that can hold up to 200 movies, or 5,000 karaoke/MTV videos.
This flexible combination of external and internal flash storage capacity allows VARs (value-added-resellers) and OEMs to customize and cost-optimize their Zii end product to a variety of storage capacities, namely 0GB, 1GB, 2GB, 3GB, 4GB, 5GB, 6GB, 8GB, 9GB, 10GB, 12GB, 16GB, 17GB, 18GB, 20GB, 24GB, 32GB, 33GB, 34GB, 36GB, 40GB, 48GB and 64GB.
HD and VGA Dual Cameras:
The forward facing VGA camera and rear facing HD camera enable developers to easily modify the Zii EGG into a pocket-sized High-definition photo, movie-recording and video conferencing device.
10-point Multi-Gesture Touch Screen:
The Zii EGG features a 10-point multi-gesture touch screen that allows developers to offer a customized device with a compelling widget-based user interface. This enables developers to create applications such as a virtual piano where you can actually play chords with onscreen keys. Users can even enjoy customized gesture commands.
Hardware GPS Receiver:
The Zii EGG has a dedicated hardware GPS (Global Positioning System) chip that allows it to receive signals directly from satellites anywhere in the world. The Zii EGG’s hardware GPS receiver lets developers create advanced location-based applications and enhanced 3D Navigation systems. Improved location accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness are benefits that only hardware GPS can deliver.
Market Ready:
Focus on the big idea, leave the nitty gritty to us. Showcase your innovation on an industry-certified open template. With a market-ready platform, enterprising developers can make quick profits, thanks to speedy time-to-market advantage.
Text-to-Speech Feature:
Text-to-speech with a HD camera on a handheld Zii EGG device opens up an exciting new field of application possibilities for developers. Coupled with OCR technologies, this unique feature can capture and read back of text, catering to people with special needs. Educational applications such as audio eBooks become viable.
