Details Emerge on Meizu M8
Way back in August, there was some speculation about a new Meizu player dubbed the M8 that supposedly ran a version of the Windows CE operating system on a 533MHz ARM11 processor. But when the rumor didn't pick up any speed after that, we shelved it.
But now, five months later, guess who's back. This time sporting a no-way-is-that-real iPhone look, the M8 is equipped with a 3.3-inch VGA display (720 x 480), 3-megapixel digital camera, A/V outputs, and a dock connector. Oh, and did we mention that it's now a GSM and 3G cell phone? Riiiight.
The one bit that's stuck, though, is the ARM11 processor and WinCE (identified as version 6.0). So even though we're still filing this under "rumor" for the time being, we do believe that something unlike Meizu's other players is afoot.

Meizu M8, the Chinese iPhone?
An interesting item turned up in our forums. Supposedly, Meizu has a new PMP in the works - the M8 - bearing a strong resemblance to the Apple iPhone in both form and function. The pics are probably nothing more than concept art, but then again, we wouldn't be surprised if they were close to the mark. Meizu has a history of borrowing design elements from Apple, as with the M6.
• 57 x 105 x 11.5mm
• 3.3-inch VGA+ screen (720 x 480)
• WinCE 6.0
• 3 megapixel camera
• GSM & Chinese TD (3G) cell phone
• Standard USB port and dock connector
• TV out, Line in/out
Note: This isn't the first time that we've seen concept art for the M8 - check out this news post from back in November. Apparently Meizu has an enthusiastic fan base.
