And now Creative is jumping into e-book readers and tablets and funcookers and such

We’re withholding judgment on the Zii platform until somebody really gets a chance to use it in a final form (you can see video of it running Android here), but little did we know that Creative has more planned for the vaguely-defined media platform than PMPs. They’ve just announced that we can expect a sort of media player/e-book reader with the Zii branding sometime… sometime in the next couple years I’d say. They actually showed a unit, boasting about its color touchscreen, but apparently nobody thought to take pictures. So we’re all left wondering — but whatever you’re picturing in your head right now is probably about right.

Except you there, with the freckles. What you’re thinking is wrong. So, so wrong.

Like so many other functiondrogenous tablet-shaped devices, you can expect to watch some media, access some services like Facebook and Twitter, and probably a few other things. Beyond that, it’s pretty much anybody’s guess.

  • Meh. Get on the ball or get off of it is what I say. There’s no point in even saying anything if it’s not going to be released by 2010 Q2.

  • The mediabook platform will be a closed platform meaning no 3rd party apps. The book is focused on the education market instead of consumer. Education is much easier to sell in Asia. Hopefully this is creatives reboot
