First of all iPod Touch is not a great PMP. Its more of a PDA with multimedia capabilities. The audio quality is mediocre and videos need to be converted for the device. The (screen) size is too large for it to be a compact Music player and too small for it to be a decent video player. The resolution is neither 4:3 nor 16:9. It however has the benefit of apple app store.

Zii already seems to be a better PMP except for the screen which is same as the Touch and I consider that a huge mistake on creatives part.

You get a lot better AV capabilties including HD out and consequently HD media playback. Even if Apple can include all those features, they woundn't. They would spread those features over 3~4 iterations in order to make the people buy a new revision of the Touch every year.

If Creative can keep prices competitive in the market they can make it sell as a PMP even if they do not have a huge number of apps for the platform. If they can get apps for the platform, that would just be an added benefit.

One would think that running on Android, it already has a huge app Market

True, but even without the apps Zii will supposedly have a lot to offer as a PMP.
