Techtree News Staff, Nov 03, 2009 0830 hrs ISTThis all-in-one multi-media tablet that would go beyond reading eBooks
After Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Nobles' Nook eBook Reader, there's yet another big company looking to dive in eBook Reader market - Creative. EpiZENter.net stated that at an Annual General Meeting, Creative showed working video of its eBook Reader currently dubbed MediaBook. Taking everyone by surprise, this MediaBook will have Creative's Zii applications processor.
Creative planted its Zii applications processors into Zii Egg, multi-touch and HD compatible portable media player. Now, Creative will put Zii chip in the MediaBook for creating a rich media experience offering eBook Reader stated EpiZENter. Willie Png, vice president for strategic business, Creative, said that MediaBook will harness "videos, pictures, text and services in one device that supports rich media experience."
MediaBook would be like all-in-one multimedia tablet which would involve social networking support as well. The ability to watch videos and photos on the go would be the unique factor involved with Zii processor's support.
Amazon Kindle, Sony eBook Reader, and Barnes & Nobles' Nook eBook readers are limited to showing eBooks. Along with the device, even the content is important and which is why Creative is already talking to 10 international and local content publishers.
But with the potential of Zii applications processor, Creative can turn its MediaBook into powerful educational tool backed up with loads of content, of course.
