Creative’s 7-inch ZiiO tablet hits the FCC, ripped into component circuitry

Creative hasn’t gone public with a US release window for its Ziio tablets , but it’s probably only a matter of time — the 7-inch model arrived at the FCC this week, complete with user manual and lovely snapshots of its innards all laid out. There’s no mistaking that ZiiLABS ZMS-08 system-on-a-chip front and center, flanked by four slabs of NAND flash from Hynix Semiconductor, and in the upper left-hand corner you can even see the AzureWave chip responsible for its 802.11 b/g WiFi connectivity and Bluetooth functions. None of this simple beauty can make up for the fact that a resistive touchscreen is calling all the shots , but battery life should be relatively long — FCC documentation describes a chunky 5,000mAh lithium-ion cell, images of which are below. Also pictured: the FCC squishing the poor device into copious amounts of styrofoam.
