Um, guys, you are all aware that there are other portable music players aside from the iPod, right? And the iPod’s nearest competitor right now are those PMPs from that little Taiwanese company called Creative. I’m sure you’ve heard of them.

Well, Creative has been making pretty good music players (with features that are even better than the iPod’s, if you ask me) and they’ve started teasing us about the newest one: the Zii EGG.

… yeah, it’s a name that made me scratch my head too. But whatever, Dapreview’s staff was given a sample unit and it looks great:

Seriously, the only reason I choose the iPod over everything else is that the iPod looks really freaking styling. Screw sheep mentality, I used to say. At least I don’t look like I’m carrying cheap-looking electronics around.

But honestly, in terms of style, it looks like the world is catching up to Apple. I want a Zii EGG.

Even if the name is still making me cringe.
