Mystery of Zii

2 weeks ago, Creative pasted this teaser on it's corporate site with the tagline "

"Everything You Know is About to Change" Zii

Stemcell computing

DH got really exited and was talking bout it. He can't wait to show me this. Best part, he also don't know what this Zii is all about.

So me being kaypoh, i goggled it that night and read what people were discussing bout. Some were saying that it is just a Hype. Some were saying that maybe Zii is just another player.

Creative invested 1billionUSD dollars and took them 10 years to develop this. 1 billion USD, wah.. wah, enough for me to buy a piece of island near Caribean... i think..

Ehem.. back to reality... So personally i think this is not just a simple player. But then i am still skeptical about it. I remember telling my husband, for that amount of $$$, this better be something big and also he should consider my suggestion to start searching for greener pastures. ahahhahah

Anyway! After much discussions and speculations, Zii finally unveiled what this Stem Computing is all about. Zii is to be launched during CES 2009 in Vegas on 8th Jan 09. Which is also the largest International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). But some kind souls already posted articles bout this Zii.. Read up if you are interested to know. here's the artice.

For now, I don't really care what this supercomputer is, I don't care if this supercomputer is so intelligent that it can self multiply and take over the world .. (i'm suddenly reminded of Michael Crighton - Prey)

I don't care at all.. (well for now la) What i am most interested to know if this nano supercomputer launch will do anything to Creative fallen share. Hmmm Let's see.. the current price listed at SGX for creative now is $4.08.

I shall monitor. just for fun yak yak.
