Not much has been heard about the Creative Zii chip in months. So, it's exciting to see that Creative has filed papers with the FCC, hinting at two versions of a Zii player: a consumer model, and the Zii EGG for developers.

The Zii will be a touchscreen MP4 media player featuring WiFi and Bluetooth. Perhaps most exciting is the addition of an HD camera and an SD slot. With a developers version, let's just sit back and wait to see what apps will be brought to the table.

With so many iPhone apps, maybe developers will be looking for a less-crowded marketplace when the Zii becomes a reality.
