Long-announced, many times postponed, the output of Meizu M8 seems finally scheduled for November 30 ... in China!

J. Wong is responsible for the marketing of iPhone-Killer, which was announced on the website of the Chinese manufacturer.

Was expected even before the release of the iPhone, but the Meizu M8 has suffered numerous delays in its development. At the CeBIT in Germany had even seen the police investigate and understand the prototype of the M8 on suspicion of forgery.

For now the phone is still awaiting a license to market the Chinese government, but hopes to get Meizu soon as possible in order to market the M8 in markets abroad.

In terms of features, the M8 should be provided with the 3G/EDGE, a 3M pixel camera, WiFi, an FM radio, a web browser and of course a media player. Certainly added many applications.

Finally, the 8GB version is expected to be priced at € 269 and the 16GB version is about € 326.

Thank you to JB for the info.

After my purchase of the Meizu Mini Player M6, I eye on the Meizu M8, which seems to be a serious competitor to the Apple iPhone.
Engadget was able to test a model and a prototype of the phone, and their two videos here:

It shows how miniaturization is important in mobile phones ...

It only remains to wait a bit!

I give you here two links to customize the look of your Meizu M6.

1. The first points to a French blog dealing with news Meizu. All skins are in French it offers *.
2. The second points to the forum Meizu Me , where you can find skins often in English.

Finally you will find here the whole procedure to change the appearance of your Mini Player.

* Personally, I use a skin ( Eros ) in English because the French translation tends to invade the screen! (Yes to the language of Molière often need more letters than Shakespeare to say the same thing.)

A test you!

I bought one week ago of a true technological marvel: an MP3 player Meizu Mini Player M6 4GB. You're probably wondering why I am so excited to tell you about, knowing that he has been marketed since 2006 and does not constitute either a "revolution" itself?

Well, the answer begins with its features: it weighs only 55g, with a size of 79mm * 48mm * 10mm (SL version is thinner) and has a screen of 2.4 ". It plays MP3, WMV, WAV and Ogg Vorbis and Xvid format videos. It can also view photos BMP, JPEG and GIF as well as 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 the radio. In addition, it has a range of sound settings, bass boost, or of 3D effects to improve listening in-ear headphones. Finally, there are games, calculator, calendar, etc..

In terms of its characteristics is, therefore, I would call very complete. Taking equipment provided: helmet of good quality (over a little stiff at first), safety strap, pouch and cloth to protect it. In short, nothing to envy Apple on that side. I take this opportunity to say loud and clear that the finish is excellent.

Now, let's not many opportunities avowed: if you are connected "personalization", you can completely change the appearance of menus with skins, to update the firmware to unlock the FM tuner (very often stuck 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 will also find advice for encoding with the software provided with VirtualDub or software developed by Batman fans.

Finally, there are a few websites selling the accessories including the official Meizu "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 the video MP3 player.

In conclusion, with its larger screen, an excellent finish, and a design worthy of Apple accessories, and a lower price from € 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 the price. Beware of imitations on Ebay. Finally, note that the user community has Meizu on a roll ... and no, I was not paid for writing this! ;-)
