The Creative Ziio is a Google Android 2.2 tablet with a 7in screen. There are hundreds of tablets based on Google's Android operating system out but none has managed to hit a good balance of value for money and features. Creative might not have a backg...
The price is about right for this 7in tablet but you really notice the features and hardware credentials that are sacrificed. Even so, we think the Creative Ziio is a good introduction to tablet computing and one of the better entry-level tablets aroun...

While we await iPad 2 killers running Android version 3.0 ('Honeycomb'), there's a small window of opportunity for companies who've rushed out tablets running version 2.2 of the operating system. In fact, while Creative is advertising the Ziio 7in as...
Attractively priced; range of connections...
Resistive screen means no 'pinch to zoom'; no access to Android Market.
The Creative ZiiO 7in has an attractive price, but it isn't a very good advertisement for Android tablets. You can bypass the on-board app store, but you shouldn't really have to do that to get good quality apps? And the slow processor doesn't make for...

The Creative Ziio 7 is one of just a few big-name tablets to arrive ahead of the Android 2.3 Gingerbread and 3.0 Honeycomb waves of devices set to square up to the iPad 2 later this year. This tablet runs the Android 2.1 operating system, but retailing fo...

The Android tablets that have appeared lately seem to suffer an identity crisis, often unable to decide whether they’re simply big smartphones or genuine tablet-computing devices. Creative Labs has taken a different approach with its new Ziio, producin...
The Creative Ziio does look rather limited when compared to some of its more ambitious tablet rivals – indeed, the refusal to provide access to the Android Market certainly seems like a rather short-sighted. But if you simply think of it as a portable...

Since the launch of the iPad the market has been saturated with tablets, the majority running on Android. Now, as much as I love Android, it was designed for phones and not tablets. As a result the user experience isn't brilliant and the standard Market P...
I use it at work and will often use it at home for ad-hoc surfing – certainly it's far better than my cramped HTC Hero screen, and a lot quicker than booting up my Netbook. And when it comes to media capabilities, it's a huge amount of fun, especially whe...

Despite it being affordably priced at Rs. 18,000, we would recommend buying the OlivePad VT-100 over the Ziio, as it sports a better 7-inch capacitive touchscreen display, the same Android 2.2 OS, similar hardware, but at a lower price of Rs. 16,000.P...

Creative’s first attempt at a tablet is a major let down. And to top it off they have priced it at a crazy Rs.17,999. If it was priced somewhere around 10K, it would make a decent buy considering it plays full HD movies, WiFi and runs Android. If you...
