Background Information
The Creative ZiiO is a tablet that was released around the same time as the first iPad. The Creative ZiiO was not made to compete with the iPad's computing power, but rather be an alternative in price.
The Creative ZiiO was known for software and firmware problems upon its release.To fix this, Creative released a series of patches and updates from 2011-2012 which upgraded its Android operating system from 2.1 to 2.2. After the update the bugs were minimal. Creative also made a specialized App store to give it a unique feeling.
This does not mean that the Creative ZiiO is a paper weight though. It's Android operating system and unique App store make a solid competitor to the other tablets. It may not be the "iPad Smasher" that many companies aimed for, but the Creative ZiiO did its job: be more less expensive than the iPad.
