No one has an idea what Creative is up to. Obviously, it has something new lined up but what is Zii exactly, hardware? software? a new music store? Sounds to me like a version of Pandora, Rhapsody and Apple iTunes Genius. EpiZENter, a website and forum dedicated to everything Creative believes it’s a chip but they’re at a loss what it is for. They do have screenshots of the purported Creative Zii, whatever it is.

Considering that Apple ripped off Creative’s music browsing software in order to create iTunes in the first place, it only seems fitting that Creative be the one to bring another superior product to compete with the iPod.
