Details are sparse at the moment, but we do know this afternoon that Creative is hard at work on developing a “MediaBook” device that will combine video, pictures and text with what’s being described as an eBook form factor.

Creative today announced their second-generation line of Vado HD pocket camcorders. The most interesting tidbit is the new Mac-friendlier Vado Central software, which allows for easy direct transfer to iMovie. Even better, that software will also work for older Vados.
The Gadgets: Creative’s new SoundBlaster Wireless for iTunes dongle, that shares music to little receivers around the house, and also to the GigaWorks T20W wireless-receiver speakers.
