Creative ZiiO Tablets Unveiled in India

Creative has launched two new ZiiO Tablets for India. The new Creative ZiiO tablets include a 7-inch and a 10-inch model - both run Google Android 2.2 Froyo. Both tablets promise "pure Android audio" performance along with X-Fi Audio Enhancements (Crystalizer, Expand) and support for different audio-video formats. These tablets look promising but the only and biggest drawback is that both have resistive touchscreen display.

Creative ZiiO tablets come in two different screen size models. The 7-inch resistive touchscreen model supports 480x800 pixel resolution while the 10-inch touchscreen model supports 1024x600 pixel resolution. Now only if Creative had gone ahead to use capacitive touchscreen displays, these ZiiO tablets had greater chance to stand head to head with tablets from other companies.




Both ZiiO tablets have the 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 architecture based ZiiLABS ZMS-08 HD Application processor. This ZiiLABS ZMS-08 Application CPUs are capable of 1080p HD video encode and Blu-ray quality video playback. It also has Creative's Xtreme Fidelity X-Fi Audio Technology incorporated for top class audio feedback. Also, the CPU supports 3D games meant for Android.
