A few weeks ago I was feeling pretty glum about being an editor of a Creative fansite. With releases like the ZEN Moo, how could you blame me? That feeling changed last week with the arrival of the Zii EGG. The new touchscreen player has created a lot of buzz around the net. Not only from Creative fans at epiZENter, but also from the supposed opposition. The Apple Blog says the EGG "may be the first to truly deserve the title “iPhone Killer.”" Here's some of the latest news from epiZENter, of course focusing mainly on the Zii EGG:
