Quad Core Creative HanZpad Tablet Passesc FCC Testing Creative Labs is not the first name that comes to mind when you think about quad core tablets, actually Acer or ASUS come to mind first. However, this company is now responsible with making a slate with a four core CPU, the HanZpad unit, that has just reached the FCC.

What's happened to hanzpad? All the while there is only their Feb announcement. ST said its success depended on many companies joining creative's tablet alliance. My check only find around 9 members, 4 are creative's subsidiaries. These 5 are mostly small time companies doing logistics, design, set-top boxes etc. Even they are very quiet about hanzpad. Will it come out in May as promised, in what volume and what price, will the Ministry of Education in China gets a hanzpad on every student's desk? These are questions investors like to have answers. |

Meet Creative HanzPad, Its Chinese TabletReported by Theo Valich on Thursday, February 16 2012 8:14 am
The ZiiLabs ZMS-40 is a successor of ZMS-20 System-on-a-Chip silicon, bringing four ARM Cortex-A9 cores clocked 100MHz faster than NVIDIA Tegra 3 - 1.5GHz. These four cores are paired with an array of 96 dedicated " cores" which handle graphics and multimedia using Android 4.0 operating system (ZMS-20 only supports Android 3.x). In order to gain traction for the product, Creative Technologies launched HanZpad as a platform for the Chinese market. That's right - even though the company manufacturers HanZpad, it will carry on branding from local Chinese IT vendors - as the market may not see hand in hand with the Singaporean brand. We're uncertain of this decision, but what can be done...
In any case, Creative even developed specialized software for the Google Android platform. Given Creative's experience in the Chinese market, we were not surprised to hear that Creative developed China-oriented software which utilizes encryption - it will only run on ZiiLabs hardware such as afore mentioned ZMS-40. Software package includes Chinese handwriting software, Digital BriefCase (business) and eSchoolBag (education). No pricing or availability were announced, but given the arrival of first samples (mid-May) don’t expect HanZpad tablets before August/September timeframe. Source: CNET |

The HanZpad will feature ZiiLABS’ flagship ZMS-40 SoC, and will sport a 4-core ARM CPU that has been clocked at 1.5GHz, along with an additional 96-cores of separate StemCell media-processing array. According to Creative, the ZMS-40 SoC will be able to support ultra high-resolution display and will be able to playback 3D content in Full HD, all the while utilizing 50% less power. The company has also designed customized applications and content aimed at Chinese users. Utilizing the processor will be the HanZpad GS tablet, a “premium” tablet with a thickness of 7.95mm, a 10” IPS display with a resolution of 1280×800, with 1GB of RAM under its hood and will feature a microSD card slot that allows for memory expansion of up to 64GB. It will also run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. No word on when Creative plans to launch the HanZpad GS tablet, or how much it will cost, but Creative has stated that they will be making these tablets available through OEMs. Related articles:ZiiLabs unveils Jaguar3 reference design tablet Ice Cream Sandwich running on a ZiiLABS ZMS-20-powered tablet Creative ZiiO 7-inch Android Tablet Now Available In The US Seen at: creative Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. |

BEIJING, China--Creative has chosen the capital of China to debut its HanZpad platform, which consists of various reference tablet designs and a Chinese operating system (OS) developed by its ZiiLabs subsidiary. The location for the launch is significant because HanZpads are tailored for Chinese consumers. However, these new tablets will only retail through its OEM partners (domestic IT brands in China).  HanZpad reference tablet designs based on its flagship ZMS-40 chip and Android 4.0. (Credit: Philip Wong/CNET Asia) The hardwareAt the heart of each HanZpad is ZiiLabs' flagship ZMS-40 system-on-chip (SoC), which features a 4-core ARM CPU running at 1.5GHz and a separate StemCell media-processing array. The latter boasts a staggering 96 cores, which contributes to the ZMS-40's official " 100-core" moniker given by ZiiLabs." The next chip will come with 256+++ cores" , Sim Wong Hoo, Creative chairman and CEO. The following table is a quick comparison of the recently launched Tegra 3 SoC from Nvidia, though it is still unclear if its graphics-processing unit is equivalent to the ZMS-40's StemCell array.
The softwareCreative has also developed Chinese applications with its associate to further differentiate the HanZpad from its competitors. An example is eSchoolBag suites designed for China's latest digital textbooks and digital classroom initiatives, while the Digital BriefCase suites are suitable for other sectors such as finance and logistics. HanZpad Chinese handwritting software. (Credit: Creative) These software solutions leverage on the company's over 20 years of experiences in developing Chinese-oriented products and educational content in the local market. An integrated encryption function in the ZMS-40 chip further provides piracy protection and the ability to lock applications for specific models of the tablet. Premium model: HanZpad GSThe " GS" here stands for golden standard and refers to a 10.1-inch HanZpad, which is 7.95mm-thin with an ultra-lightweight and stylish design. Aesthetics aside, this premium model is also loaded with a ZiiLabs-enhanced Android 4.0 and a Chinese OS which allows for handwritten Chinese character inputs. A stylus dubbed HanZpen will be bundled to facilitate this function. The HanZpad GS weighs only 480g and is 7.95mm thin. (Credit: Creative) Here are other noteworthy features.
You might like to check out these key specifications, too.
Sim cited a few reasons on his decision to launch the HanZpad in China. Among them are China's huge market and his passion for the Chinese language. He's also using the country as a stepping stone to expand into the rest of the world, but has not ruled out the possibility of partnering with companies outside of China to market these tablets. Unfortunately, no availability and pricing information were provided during the launch, though HanZpad samples will be shipping to Creative's Chinese partners such as 3Nod Corporation by mid-May. Chinese students under its pilot programs will also be receiving the tablet around the same period. |

http://www.geek.com/articles/gadgets/ziilabs-and-creative-partner-on-super-thin-android-tablet-prototypes-20110914/ http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/14/ziilabs-unleashes-jaguar3-super-slim-slate-reference-design/?fb_ref=article& fb_source=profile_oneline This time no war but become a partner and collabrator with any manufacturers who might want to use his Quad core chipset for tablets and mobile smartphones only which Creative's chip is the leader in Quad core. At this moment he is the new leader in this chipset but believe me Nvidia Tegra 3 is coming soon so as Apple new iPad 3 in the pipeline, but will they use their own developed chipset or existing one that can be found in market. No one know. Just my own comment here, hope there is no influence in your share investment of this counter !!! LOL. I think that at least someone must be interested in using this Quad core chipset. Samsung Galaxy also use Nvidia Tegra2, maybe Google may drop HTC after HTC is having some issues and big G brother might use a new chipset ! All this are my own ponders in this semi-conductor industry. For Stem-cells processor and ARM cortex platform, there is still some player like : Philips+SGS Thomson+Sony which Sony tablet is using ( I believe they use their own joint-venture chipset) and heard there is TI (Texas Instrument) is still in development stage maybe coming soon There is also Omap 4-5 and Snapdragon processors in the market ! But one must take note that Creative is just building a Reference Prototype models to show market they have the capability to provide a one stop solution, from design to mass produce. They want to be a solution house to build for anyone who wanted to use their chipset. This is a very new game to them but new to this semi-conductor (IC) industries. Not an easy game to play, how about the components inventories and after products logistics and RMA (support and warranty). Disclaimer : This is my own research and comment, hope it will helps anyone understand more about this counter. Do your homework and invest wisely. Good Luck !!!

See the POST link : http://info.sgx.com/webcoranncatth.nsf/VwAttachments/Att_61BB15498A86AC874825790A002F5F2B/$file/039PR-ZiiLABS3rdGenerationJaguar3AndriodTabletReferenceDesigns.pdf?openelement The finger and the tablet is actual size in comparison ? What do you see ! What you see at challenge is just a test bed they try to test the market last year. The old tablet is a bit lousy is not the hardware, is the Android version in 2.1, not the latest honeycomb 3. Moreover, the old ZiiO tablet they did not get it certified by Google, and it cannot access Android Marketplace. They realise their mistake which users purchase a tablet, not just one to use Creative Zii-Store apps only, people want to use full Android applications from Android Marketplace. Whereas, the the touch response is lousy because it is not a capacitive touch tablet, it needs a stylus pen. |

That is last Dec 2010 model, and using Android 2.1, the new one not even production yet, they just produce prototype for manufacturer, meaning it will be like a one stop solution for any brands. Read the link in post. Anyone can start their brand of tablet and Creative will produce for them base on their model ids and add any components like 12gb camera, to add or not add 3G features etc. Creative's next generation processor Zii-20 and Zii-40 stem-cells is ready. The Zii-40 is a Quad core processor, in the market now all tablet processor is only in dual-core (Samsung Galaxy, ipad2 etc). The only one can compete maybe is coming from Nvidia Tegra 3. What you see at challenge is just a test bed they try to test the market last year. The old tablet is a bit lousy is not the hardware, is the Android version in 2.1, not the latest honeycomb 3. Moreover, the old ZiiO tablet they did not get it certified by Google, and it cannot access Android Marketplace. They realise their mistake which users purchase a tablet, not just one to use Creative Zii-Store apps only, people want to use full Android applications from Android Marketplace. Whereas, the the touch response is lousy because it is not a capacitive touch tablet, it needs a stylus pen. Now the new zii-20 and zii-40 are chipset processor, no tablet is produce yet. Customer like manufactures or example Viewsonic or any brand can use this chipsets to cater for their own development product in future. I think Creative want to change their company model. Just my two cents of opinion. Good Luck. |

Recently, ZiiLabs a subsidiary of Creative Technologies recently launched its ZMS-40 System-on-a-Chip. We wondered who will be the launch customer and lo and behold, it's Creative's HanzPad tablet for the Chinese market.
If you were to shop for a tablet in China, there is a good chance that you might come across a tablet looking like the one above. That reference design is courtesy of Creative who debuted their HanZpad platform which is based on ZiiLABS’ 100-core ZMS-40 SoC along with a operating system of its own, also developed by ZiiLABS.
