Creative hasn't gone public with a US release window for its Ziio
tablets, but it's probably only a matter of time -- the 7-inch model
arrived at the FCC this week, complete with user manual and lovely
snapshots of its innards all laid out. There's no mistaking that
ZiiLABS ZMS-08 system-on-a-chip front and center, flanked by four
slabs of NAND flash from Hynix Semiconductor, and in the upper left-
hand corner you can even see the AzureWave chip responsible for its
802.11 b/g WiFi connectivity and Bluetooth functions. None of this
simple beauty can make up for the fact that a resistive touchscreen is
calling all the shots, but battery life should be relatively long --
FCC documentation describes a chunky 5,000mAh lithium-ion cell, images
of which are below. Also pictured: the FCC squishing the poor device
into copious amounts of styrofoam.
