Creative’s Android-Wielding Zii Trinity Captured On Video

Some new video footage of Creative’s Zii Trinity reference hardware, giving us a closer look at the hardware-for-hire. It looks pretty diminutive, but also pretty unfinished.

The phone looks tiny, especially compared to the iPhone-sized Creative Zii Egg, but it seems the kinks haven’t quite been worked out—some gestures, like swiping between homepages, result in opening the app tray by mistake. But the hardware looks nice, if a little generic (although it’s probably designed to be generic, since it’ll be optioned by different OEMs). I like the idea of the swappable microUSB/mini-HDMI port on the bottom, but time will tell if that feature stays in the final product. [CNET Asia via Engadget]
