Creative is one of those electronics companies that doesn’t necessarily stay in the here and now consistently. Instead, they have one really good product ever few years that really wows us or at least gets our attention with the years in between more like “beta years” if you will. An FCC filing fresh of the desk of the big guy himself shows the outline of Creative’s next move in the PMP market. The filing shows an HD camcorder on the back as well as support for WiFi, touchscreens, and a unit titled “developer edition”. So what does it all mean? Only that Creative is getting ready to unleash a bomb shell if they can manage to get hardware and software to co-exist happily. Keyword: Happily. If they want the element of surprise and to enjoy the limelight for any more than just a few days, they may want to hurry up as Apple is rumored to be bringing camera modules to the entire iPod line as various leaked cases have shown. Suddenly in a world full of Android phones, iPhones, and Palm Pre’s, the PMP market just get hot and relevant again.
