Creative Zii Egg lo abbiamo visto nella seconda parte dello scorso anno. Un dispositivo multimediale con doppio sistema, o meglio con doppia interfaccia: Android e Palszma. Un device che non possiede qualità telefoniche e che appartiene alla gamma dei lettori multimediali evoluti.

In attesa di vedere lo Zii Phone, annunciato e ancora non ufficializzato, possiamo vedere un video dello Zii Egg e delle sue potenzialità Multimediali.
