A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Wow, a stolen design of another stolen design (Meizu M6). These guys really have balls.
I think it looks more like that Meizu mini than an iPod...of course, that same Meizu was mocked on this site for looking like an iPod, so I guess now we can all start playing a gadget version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Is that to-may-to or to-mah-to?
There are too many of these things coming out now. Stop the madness!!

Wow. Another mp3 player that resembles an ipod. Meh.
No, actually it looks nothing like an iPod. Engadget and their bias bullcrap say everything that looks anything remotely like any Apple product is a complete rip off, and I'm tired of it. Look, white is a freaking color (or technically a lack of color), and any company can use it. Just because someone makes a white car doesn't mean they're copying Apple, and it's the same with mp3 players damn it.
HOW IN YOUR TWISTED MIND DOES THESE THINGS RESEMBLE AN IPOD!?
DIOS MIO! PLEASE STOP COMPARING ALL TO AN APPLE PRODUCT.
PLUS, I LIKE THE MEIZU BETTER. IT HAS A LOT MORE FUNCTIONALITY.
boolean22, Who said it looks like an iPod? I didn't.

One way it does not resemble an IPod is the $Price (85). Apple? Meh.
E-book?!? E-pamphlet, if you're really ambitious.
Kev50027,
Who said it looks like an iPod? I didn't.

Yet another mp3 player that's probably based off of the S1 chipset. Next, please.
There are references to Apple but none having to do with the flash player's appearence. Learn to read. Or just spend a little more time reading for understanding before you post a comment so some jackhole who should be spending his time studying in class (like myself) doesn't feel the need/finds it more important to point out your stupidity. Cry less.
Are you blind? I responded to Oliver Tani's post. Also, just yesterday, Engadget Mobile compared the look of a new Sony Ericsson phone to a G4 tower.. how is that even possible?
You just made an ass of yourself by the way.. I was replying to Oliver Tani, not just the Engadget post.
Perhaps by "E-book" they mean "Audio Book?" That might make more sense.
Then again, aren't Audio Books in MP3 or WMA or some other similar format anyway? Mine are, but they come from *coughlimewirecough*. If they are, how does it handle an audio book differently than a regular ol' song? It's just a helluva lot longer (unless you split the file).
Ok, that's all well and good but how does it PERFORM? I don't care about e-book support, just so long as it doesn't shatter into tiny pieces when I drop it on plush carpeting. Is it worth buying beyond just being a status symbol (which is what the iPod has become)? What are the pros and cons of the product? Mr. Ricker needs to focus the energy he used in being snarky to actually give information on whether or not it's actually a good product worth spending money on.
You people need to chill out!
I think by "e-book" it meant Electronic Phone Book.
I saw another Mp3 player being sold here in Manila that has "E-BOOK" capability listed as one of its features. I asked the salesman about it, and he said it's for storing phone numbers. Jeebez, I got my hopes up for nothing... But then again... seriously, how do you expect to read an "electronic book" with a screen size like that? .....
You are all fools. Why do I say this?
I'll tell you, when have you all made a flash player? Is your flash player e-book ready. I think not. I-pods suck. I worked on them for a year. Drop it on a hard surface while it is running, bye bye i-pod and back to the store for another $200.00 purchase. This player looks cool. Buy one
