The Creative Ziio is the latest Android tablet to be launched in India. What makes the Ziio different from the madding crowd is that it's meant to be an "entertainment device," something like a 7-inch with extra features. As a result, the Ziio is shor...

Despite it being affordably priced at Rs. 18,000, we would recommend buying the OlivePad VT-100 over the Ziio, as it sports a better 7-inch capacitive touchscreen display, the same Android 2.2 OS, similar hardware, but at a lower price of Rs. 16,000.P...

When it comes to multimedia products Creative is one of the oldest companies that have been churning out competitive products starting off with PC peripherals like speakers and then branching out into components, media players and now tablets. In o...
Creative’s first attempt at a tablet is a major let down. And to top it off they have priced it at a crazy Rs.17,999. If it was priced somewhere around 10K, it would make a decent buy considering it plays full HD movies, WiFi and runs Android. If you...

Its a bit hard reviewing the Creative ZiiO- especially after you’ve played with the iPad for almost a year. This resistive-screen Android 2.x based tablet feels outdated by simply reading the specs. But we’ve seen many times before that specs don’t alw...

Many companies, otherwise traditional manufacturers of PC components, presented new, atypical product series last year, in an attempt to widen their impact onto the market segments that they’d previously been unheard of. Creative was one of the first t...

Creative isn't the music player giant it was a few years ago (my first MP3 player was a Creative Nomad Jukebox), overshadowed as all iPod competitors have been by Apple's devices. The burgeoning tablet market, however, presented a new opportunity for C...
Inexpensive. Good media apps. HDMI output to TV. Easy connection to wireless speakers.
Hard-to-use, low-quality display. Runs a version of Android not optimized for tablets.

Without YouTube or Flash or support or any DRM-protected audio/video media, I am tempted to ask whether or not ZiiO should even be called an "Entertainment Tablet." Then again, most of my disappointment here is diffused by the undeniably attractive pr...

Media players used to just play music, and in general they worked just fine. Then they added video and things continued without much ado. But now the temptation to base a media player on the Android operating system is proving irresistible. The tro...

Tablets are making their way to the market en masse, and based on what we have seen, the current trend and demand for these devices are not about to slow down anytime soon. After all, it cannot be denied that these devices fill a certain niche in the...
If it was not obvious by now, the Creative ZiiO 7 is definitely not one of your typical 'general purpose' tablets you are likely to find in the myraid of similar devices currently flooding the retail market in waves. At the very least, don't expect to...

Merely the resistive touchscreen and the old Android version dim the picture a bit. You get what you can expect for 249 euros from the case – namely plastic. However, it's been well-manufactured and is pleasant to hold thanks to its design.We can recommen...

After the Apple’s iPad was first launched, the tablet war was on. Each company tries with different approach on each tablet release, including Creative. The Creative ZiiO is one of the Android tablets available on the market and offers an affordable a...
The Creative ZiiO is not an iPad. You cannot compare it to an iPad, period. While it has a lower quality screen, cheaper material, front camera only, resistive screen, and lack of intuitiveness, the ZiiO is highly affordable and excels in the audio dep...
