Creative ZEN Zii Leaked?
epiZENter.net is a treasure trove of Creative leaks. Today, Michael posted a few UI screens that were leaked to him. They are likely the screens of a new ZEN, the Zii. Michael’s analysis is that a new widescreen player in the works. However, despite the relative closeness of typical Creative interfaces- the icons, the font, the yellow glow bar underneath- but Photos and FM Tuner, two hallmarks of Creative players, are missing from the screenshots. Also, Audio Books option appears. Creative also has always called their podcast section ZENcasts as well, but the ZENcast software has not been updated since February 1st, 2008, which may also mean they are abandoning that during their cost cutting methods. What do you think? I think it’s a user interface demo that shows what the Zii processor can do. The inconsistencies here are too great to ignore as a new player, but Creative said they were completely changing their business, so it’s possible that they started by consolidating their user interface.
