» Meizu miniOne: An Apple iPhone Look-alike
(February 2007)
While everyone is sitting around waiting for
the acclaimed Apple iPhone to be released months from now, the
Chinese company Meizu has come up with a phone that is
strikingly similar in appearance to the iPhone - the Meizu M8
PMP/Phone. From the design of the phone, to the style of the
user interface, the M8 just screams iPhone wannabe. I guess we
shouldn't be surprised though, this was bound to happen sooner
or later. Chinese companies are known for ripping of US designs,
and often times there is very little that the US company can do
to prevent them from profiting off their designs.
Some of the major differences the Meizu M8 has from theiPhone is
a white case instead of black one, it runs off WinCE 6.0 instead
of the Mac platform the iPhone runs off of, and it has a camera
(which the iPhone does not). The dimensions of the Meizu M8 are
57x105x11.5mm. It includes a beautiful 3.3-inch (720x480 pixels)
display, Bluetooth, a 3-megapixel camera, TV-out, line in/out,
and video recording capabilities of 30fps at 720x480 resolution.
The phone supports GSM networks and has the Chinese TD-SCDMA 3G
radio.
There's been no word on pricing, but I am betting that it will
be the iPhone prices by a long-shot. With the more common
operating system and inclusion of a digital camera, the Meizu M8
may give the Apple iPhone a run for its money. Apple lawyers and
executives can't be too pleased right now.
