The Zii EGG is a handheld product platform from Creative Technology subsidiary ZiiLABS. According to ZiiLABS, the Zii Egg was designed for OEM sales, meaning that the device was marketed to sell to third parties rather than retail customers where they can modify it and sell it under their own brand rather than Creative or ZiiLABS. Creative later introduced a consumer model, the Creative Zii. The Egg was announced at the end of July 2009 with ZiiLABS' Plaszma OS platform and support for Google's Android OS. [1] The EGG was shipped from ZiiLABS in the later half of August 2009. The first available firmware with Android was released on November 2, 2009.
