Version 1.0.0.1 will shift its attention more towards Android with an app launcher much like Google's. However, that launcher will also be available directly from the drag-to-unlock screen and like Windows Mobile 6.5 will let users u... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/03/meizu.m8.beta.leak.shows.new.ui/ Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/22/meizu.launches.updated.iphone.clone/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/meizum8se.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The successor to Meizu's iPhone clone, the M8, has gone on sale on Tuesday in the maker's home market of China. Called just the M8 Second Edition, the device is said to have a stronger radio and support both for the China-specific WAPI wireless standard and more traditional Wi-Fi, either of which was absent on the original. Other specs remain thin, but the dedicated music button on the right side ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/22/meizu.launches.updated.iphone.clone/ Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/19/meizu.m8.to.get.android/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/meizum8-unboxing.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Chinese handset manufacturer Meizu recently announced its M8 cellphone will soon get a firmware upgrade to its true 1.0 status and there are rumblings on various forums that the handset may eventually rely on a Google Android operating system. Meizu's CEO Jack Wong has himself apparently confirmed there is a dedicated team investigating the Android platform.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/19/meizu.m8.to.get.android/ Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/15/meizu.m8.upgrade.coming/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/meizum8-unboxing.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Meizu's planned sequel to the M8, its at times controversial shadow to the iPhone, is now said by company chief J. Wong to be a significant but more evolutionary upgrade. In place of a complete overhaul, the Chinese executive says the phone will support both China-native 3G through the TD-SCDMA standard as well as GPS. A camera upgrade is also due with a 5-megapixel sensor and an LED flash.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/15/meizu.m8.upgrade.coming/ Fri, 15 May 2009 20:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/03/meizu.m9.handset.developed/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/meizum8-unboxing.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />After recently unveiling the M8 handset, Meizu CEO J. Wong has announced a new handset, the Meizu M9, is already in the works. It will be available in two versions, the M9c and M9t, with the former supporting conventional CDMA2000 networks and the latter built to work on China's government-supported TD-SCDMA 3G network.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/03/meizu.m9.handset.developed/ Tue, 03 Mar 2009 22:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/18/meizu.m8.ships.to.stores/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/meizum8-unboxing.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Chinese maker Meizu has at last officially launched the M8, a phone widely seen as an attempt to clone Apple's iPhone. Though technically already available for a short space of time, the M8 has only now left testing status, losing Wi-Fi support, likely in accordance with Chinese law. An 8GB model is selling for 2,380 yuan ($348), while a 16GB version costs 2,880 yuan ($421).... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/18/meizu.m8.ships.to.stores/ Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/28/meizu.m8.unboxing/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/meizum8-unboxing.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Meizu's M8 touchscreen phone will bear similarities to the iPhone in more than just the hardware design, a first look from a Chinese publication shows. Confirming the shipping-ready status of the device, the report shows both the extremely derivative design of the M8 itself but also the packaging and accessories, which mimic Apple's black box and white accessories. This includes earbuds and a US... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/28/meizu.m8.unboxing/ Fri, 28 Nov 2008 12:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/05/meizu.m8.due.nov.30/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/meizum8-browser.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Meizu's shadow to the iPhone, the M8, should be available in at least a limited form before the end of the month, according to a post by company head J. Wong. While already tentatively slated for November, the touchscreen phone should be launched in Meizu's native China no later than November 30th. The company is waiting for a government license for the phone but will release a test version to u... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/05/meizu.m8.due.nov.30/ Wed, 05 Nov 2008 06:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/02/meizu.m8.launch.info/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/meizum8-prototype.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Meizu's long-in-production M8 phone could be available in a month's time, company head J.

The device is now purportedly set to ship at the start of December and will initially be available only to China-area buyers with an Indian release later. It should also carry a single 8GB trim level and is described as selling between $384 and $469, though whether this invol... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/29/meizu.m8.due.in.december/ Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:00:00 GMT
