With this much features and power to compete against a well known brand, nVidia Tegra 2 and 3 (Kal-El), one must wonder why no manufacturers have yet brought ZiiLABS JAGUAR reference designs to commercial market. This latest one shows off the super-power that JAGUAR3 is:

  • Dual-core 1.5GHz ARM Cortex-A9 with ZMS-20 48 x StemCell Processors (total 50 cores) or Quad-core 1.5GHz ARM Cortex-A9 with ZMS-40 96 x StemCell Processors (total 100 cores).

  • High density 176dpi screen with 176 degree angle of view
  • Capacitive multi-touch screen
  • Ultra light and thin magnesium casing weighing less than 480g and an ultra-thin 8.1 mm

  • A dual camera system of up to 12 Megapixel for rear facing image capture and HD for front facing
  • Dual channel Wi-Fi b/g/n
  • Bluetooth 2.1+EDR
  • GPS, accelerometer, compass and gyroscope
  • Creative Sound Blaster’s famed X-Fi audio effects and speakers
  • Dual microphone array for beam-formed noise reduction

ZiiLABS Announces JAGUAR Family of Android 3.X Reference Platforms

I have no idea why isn’t Creative selling this directly to the consumer market right this moment. Based on the specifications, it looks like a tablet with a superior performance, low-powered and rich-feature set that practically everyone would rush to buy. Having a Quad Core 1.5GHz with 2GB memory and 64GB internal storage seems like a killer device to me. Whatever it is, I hope an OEM or ODM picks it up and offers the maximum specs available to this beauty.

Based on a motherboard concept, the ZiiLABS’ JAGUAR reference platform for Android 3.x allows an OEM or ODM to bring to market their own Android 3.X tablets in the shortest possible time. The JAGUAR platforms combine the sleek Industrial Design templates (ID), proven high-speed system design and peripheral modularity required to enable OEMs and their ODM partners to innovate and differentiate critical components such as the LCD display, touch controller, cameras, ID and modem connectivity.
