Creative Zii Android smartphone coming soon? Posted on the main screen of the Creative and ZiiLABS Showcase Green Solutions for Developers at Zii Summit 2009 in China is the interesting notion that a possible Zii Android smartphone may be in the works, using the extremely powerful StemCell Computing Technology found on the Zii Egg device.
Under "Zii Powered Devices" reads the following:

A range of OEM-ready Zii Powered devices will be showcased - powered by ZiiLABS ZMS-05 and ZMS-08 media-rich application processors. The line-up of devices on display include: a Touch Tablet PC, a Netbook, a Web-Box, a 360o Multi-View Camera System, ultra high-performance Speakers, a Piano Keyboard for the PC, and a Portable e-Book Reader. But the highlight of our devices line-up is our Mobile Phone platform. ZiiLABS ushers in a new era of explosive high definition 3D with the Zii Optimized Android Phone platform. The Zii Optimized Android Phone platform gives developers the chance to use the familiar Android OS, but with a difference. Harnessing StemCell Computing Technology found on the ZMS-05 Media Rich Processor, Android is now super-charged with seamless 3D graphics and High Definition video playback performance.
