Creative Unleashes the Powerful Zii TRINITY Mobile Phone Platform

Back in November, when news of Creative’s plans for its Zii platform arrived, we managed to learn that the company was preparing something pretty big for its Zii Summit, something related to the handhelds’ world. In fact, those bits and pieces of information proved to be spot on since Creative (via Ziilabs, its subsidiary in charge of the whole Zii project) has just announced the elaboration of a complete 3.5G/4G Smart Phone and development platform supporting the Optimized Android and native Linux-based Plaszma operating systems, boastfully dubbed the Zii TRINITY.

As you might remember, this is not the first implementation of the Zii platform into a real-life product, since back in July, the company also unveiled its Zii Egg portable multimedia player, which, by all accounts, is more of a proof of concept device than an actual mass-production ready product. And seems to also be the case with the TRINITY, albeit we’re talking about a fairly different segment here, namely that of mobile phones.

As expected, the TRINITY platform is built on the ZiiLABS’ StemCell Computing array, which powers ZiiLABS’ ZMS-05 and ZMS-08 media-rich application processors. The prototype supports accelerated OpenGL ES 3D graphics, video and imaging, all of which are available either via the 3.1-inch, 480×800 pixels, 16M color Active Matrix OLED with capacitive multi-touch or via the mini HDMI port for 1080p video output.

The device also has the Xtreme Fidelity X-Fi audio technology, a 5-megapixel rear facing, auto-focus camera, a VGA forward facing camera for video conferencing, USB 2.0 Micro port for connectivity and charging, MicroSD storage expansion, and SIM card slots. Additional features include the 256MB low-power DDR memory, the integrated Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR and hardware GPS, and, powering it all, a 1130mAH lithium polymer battery.

Pricing details have not been provided, so it remains to be seen what manufacturer will decide to take a very bold leap and jump first onto the TRINITY bandwagon.
