"Where the ZiiO shines is in the audio department- thanks to the X-Fi crytallizer." |

"... the touchscreen is very responsive for a resistive model, making browsing and day-to-day navigation quick and largely frustration-free."
"As a highly portable tablet, the Creative ZiiO 7 is perfect for watching the odd TV episode on the train or bus, and its hardware is up to the task too."
"At present, the Creative ZiiO 7 is one of the best sub-£200 tablet solutions available... If you need an affordable tablet right now, it's a good buy." |

"We streamed a selection of tracks at different bitrates to the Creative WP-300 and sound quality is really impressive - surprisingly so for Bluetooth - in fact you almost forget you're streaming. You can also stream to a wireless dock, like the Creative ZiiSound D5... As well the usual MP3 and AAC, the ZiiO also supports uncompress audio like WAV and lossless formats FLAC and OGG. Elsewhere other X-Fi Audio Enhancements include X-Fi Crystalizer which adds detail and X-Fi Expand makes a huge difference to movie playback, adding a sense of surround and depth."
"With its excellent audio capability, the Creative ZiiO stands apart from other tablets..." |

"I use it at work and will often use it at home for ad-hoc surfing... And when it comes to media capabilities, it’s a huge amount of fun, especially when paired with Bluetooth headphones (leave the tablet on a desk and wander around listening to some excellent quality music)." |

"ZiiO still does a fair job of playing music and video, with extensive format support... and there's Bluetooth and HDMI output for playback through other devices. A bonus - the ZiiO isn't as cheap as it feels." |

"Having the X-Fi feature turned on is like un-muffling my audio collection. Music feels sharper and richer than before. Pairing a Bluetooth device with the ZiiO was easy too and with just one touch, you can reconnect them together in an instant even after you turn the ZiiO off."
"Creative ZiiO is highly affordable that you can even buy one for the whole family; a portable & wireless media device for watching movies, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books or magazines, and net surfing." |

"The Creative ZiiO 7” entertainment tablet... is a lovely little device for playing back your favourite content and even better watching it on your large HDMI compatible television or audio streamed via bluetooth with Creative's X-Fi enhancements."
"Tablets are evolving quickly and for the price, the Creative ZiiO is a respectable entry into this new exciting world of technology without breaking the bank." |

"Moving aside from apps per se and returning to core media support, you'll find that the Creative ZiiO 7 is rather well stocked. Coming from a company that has released a number of impressive media players and pushes some innovative audio products, the ZiiO 7 really sells itself as an enhanced media player."
"If you stick to the remit of a large screen media player, then the Creative ZiiO 7 is worth considering. If you have a selection of videos and music you want to take on your travels, then this will offer you entertainment for half the price you'd pay for an iPad or some rival Android tablets.” |
