Lots of important announcements today guys and gals. We’ve seen Sony unveil some of its upcoming products and now we have Creative telling us all about its hot Zii Stemcell Computing thing. And apparently “Zii is a super computer in nano size”. And it’s not a Wii gaming concept is it?

Creative has a ZiiLabs ZMS-05 SoC or System on a Chip. Creative’s new chip is really small. It’s 100x smaller, 100x cheaper and 100x greener than a typical super computer. As for Stemcell Computing that must mean that you could link an unlimited number of chips to do the job for you.

Now we need a product to pack the Zii so we can see what it can actually do. Until then it will be just a great concept.

What is Creative going to launch? Is it a new MP3 player? Is it a new gaming console? Is the Zii a Wii competitor? We’re anxious to see what that StemCell Computing is all about. The latest email sent to those curious enough to register for further updates from Zii’s website, the whole Zii thing has over 10 years of work, 10,000 man-years and over one billion dollars behind it. It should at least be as impressive don’t you think? While we’re waiting for CES 2009, here’s the email I was telling you about:

Zii is StemCell Computing
