Creative CES Rundown
Creative always makes a big splash at CES, as that’s where they unveiled CNET’s Best of CES Zen MicroPhoto (2005) and Zen Vision:M (2006). This year is likely to be the biggest since 2006, as the Zii is poised to make its first appearance. From what I’ve heard, the Zii will be more important than X-Fi technology to Creative over the coming years. Eagle eyed Supermonkey over at epiZENter just found another likely release at CES- a Fatal1ty branded headset. You can read the BBC article here.
At this point, those are the only two products that have been hinted at. Creative, however, does have a sizable booth and subsidiary 3DLabs has its own booth. Creative will be in booth 30651 in the South 3 area, between T-Mobile and SanDisk. 3DLabs’ much smaller booth is in South 4, booth number 35160MP, directly next to chipmaker Staccato Communications and across from DivX. The recently released Vado HD will likely have a prominent display, but Creative’s future is staked on the Zii. Can it dazzle at first sight? We’ll soon see, as CES starts January 8th in Las Vegas. Of course as soon as I know more, I’ll post it here.
