I purchased one week ago a true marvel of technology: an MP3 player Meizu Mini Player M6 4GB. You are probably wondering why I'm so excited to talk to you, knowing that it is marketed since 2006 and it is not truly a "revolution" itself?
Well, the answer begins with its features: it weighs only 55g for a size of 79mm * 48mm * 10mm (SL version is thinner) and has a screen of 2.4 ". It plays MP3, WMV, Ogg Vorbis and WAV, and Xvid format videos. It also allows you to watch pictures BMP, JPEG and GIF and read eBooks.
But its features do not stop there: it has an FM tuner (see below), can act as a voice recorder and can record radio. In addition, it has a whole range of sound settings, bass boost, or of 3D effects to enhance listening in-ear earphone. Finally, there are games, calculator, calendar, etc..
In terms of its characteristics is, therefore, I would call very comprehensive. Taking equipment provided: helmet of good quality (a little stiff wire at the beginning), lanyard of safety, and cloth pouch to protect it. In short, nothing from Apple on that side. I want to say out loud that the finish is excellent.
Now, many opportunities to spend not avowed, if you are connected "personalization", you can completely change the appearance of menus with skins, update the firmware to unlock the FM tuner (very often blocked in France for problems tax) or customize the language (French supported with the original firmware). For more information on this subject I recommend the excellent site Meizu Me and the French section . You'll also find tips for encoding with software provided with VirtualDub or software designed by Batman fans.
Finally, there are a few websites selling accessories and official Meizu including Silicon Case, "a small flexible plastic cases to protect your player from shocks. She is also currently out of stock reflecting the growing interest around this Video MP3 player.
In conclusion, with its larger screen, an excellent finish, and a design worthy of Apple accessories, and a price below 60 €, the Meizu Mini Player M6 really enough to overshadow the new iPod Nano.
Ps: I paid mine € 100 4GB model classic (not SL), be careful, some sites exaggerate on price. Beware of imitations on Ebay. Finally, note that the user community Meizu has the wind in their sails ... and no, we do not pay me to write these lines! ;-)

I add in commentary that despite what is said about the test generation MP3, the screen 2.4 "is enough to watch a movie (or more ;-)) and the display of album art is handled.
A news on the way, a movie re-encoded for the player takes between 300 and 400 MB, and an episode of series 150 MB.
