The ZiiLabs Trinity that was announced earlier this week has ended up in front of a video camera, courtesy of C|Net Asia. According to Creative it can take a manufacture only 3 months to get the Trinity to market, assuming they don’t do any customization work at all. For those who forgot the key specs: 5 megapixel camera, 1 GHz Cortex A8 processor, 1080p video playback, HDMI port, quadband GSM/EDGE, triband 7.2 Mbps HSPA.
Creative, who owns ZiiLabs, is betting big on this, and I wish them the best of luck since what they’re doing is completely unheard of in this industry. There are Chinese vendors who will slap operator branding on cheap devices, probably using a MediaTek chipset, but this is a high end device, and ZiiLabs is not only giving their customers the final product in a box, but the schematics, the PCB layout, and everything else they need to tweak every aspect of the device. I’ve got high hopes for Trinity.
