  Update: Read our take on the Zii. Creative has got a teaser website running about its new technology called Zii. Of course, it does sound like our beloved Wii, but this one’s not about gaming.

  Sony is gradually revealing bits and pieces of its “revolutionary” Vaio device. This time it comes from Vaio’s Japanese site showing a woman removing a small device from her purse.
