ZiiLABS promise Zii Android smartphone demo in December

By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 16th 2009 No Comments

Set to be demonstrated at the Zii Summit 2009, to be held in China on December 1st, the device is described as a Zii Optimized Android Phone platform, albeit based on the (still pretty impressive) ZMS-05 chipset.
