Zii Egg is an Android powered device that has the Creative Chip, ZMS-05 incorporated inside. It can run two different operating systems, such as Google Android or Linux Plaszma OS. Please take a note that the Zii Egg isn’t a mobile phone, it soon could be. ZiiLABS is allowing third parties to develop for and re-brand the device.

The only thing stopping this from being a mobile phone is a cellular transceiver, and they are not so hard to find.

However, because it already runs Google’s Android operating system, it won’t take a lot of software jiggery-pokery to get the thing making calls. The Zii Egg sports 1080p HD output, X-Fi Audio processing, a ten-point multi-gesture capacitive touchscreen, text-to-speech engine and expandable SDHC memory. It’s got lots more, too.

It is available to developers and OEM’s as part of a pre-order kit for a paltry $399. For a device that truly comes close to the iPhone in size, style, function and development promise, this may be the first to truly deserve the title “iPhone Killer”, isn’t it?
