Teclast M26 user interface looks a bit familiar

Teclast's M26 seemed vaguely more interesting than the dozens of other garbage, status-quo portable media devices that get pumped out of Chinese factories on a weekly basis -- and now we need not spend any more time wondering just where they got their design, um, inspiration. At least Meizu's M8 sexed it up a little -- this take is just a bit depressing.

Hmm... looks a bit familiar.

[aardWolf @ Jul 7th 2008 2:52PM]

I know! Isn't that a similar interface to the Microsoft Zune??? No, that can't be it...

[tyler @ Jul 7th 2008 2:56PM]

Agreed.. it looks like the uh, hmm.. what's that thing called again?

[BrianB @ Jul 7th 2008 3:08PM]

Expect that the time stamps show u only waited for three minutes !

[BrianB @ Jul 7th 2008 3:16PM]

Guilty :(

Looks familar... can't quite put my finger on it...

[Pochi @ Jul 7th 2008 3:07PM]

Put your FINGER ON IT!

I hope you did that by accident. Funnier that way.

[Gary McDaniel @ Jul 8th 2008 5:03AM]

This does look familiar.

[Sam Stone @ Jul 7th 2008 2:54PM]

:o!

This comes free with a rotating pac-man!

[John @ Jul 7th 2008 2:58PM]

More proof that China is great at [re]production, but not innovation.

[BrianB @ Jul 7th 2008 2:59PM]

Boy, this story has been out, what, four days?

Comment Fail

[BrianB @ Jul 7th 2008 3:13PM]

I mean, this is not news. Least not in the fast-paced PMP world where I come from.

[Graham @ Jul 7th 2008 3:19PM]

News, news, new, *checks CNN*. hmm, it appears that half the stuff posted here never made it to the real "news"....OHH!!! THATS RIGHT!!! This is a blog! Not a news site. Meaning, they can post pretty much anything that they want thats gadget related. I guess you dont remember the good old days of Phillip Torrone then do ya?
http://www.engadget.com/bloggers/phillip-torrone/
Talk about some amazing hacks and tricks. But awe man, what a shame, its not news so it never belonged here. That, by the way, is what lured me here originally. Phillips amazing hacks and creations.

[BrianB @ Jul 7th 2008 3:24PM]

I mean, this could've been news if Engadget used my tip. I did tip you first Engadget, and you know it. Same M26, same source, and even better writing.

[lu1de @ Jul 7th 2008 3:00PM]

whaa? new iPhone? oh. its not.

[Darren @ Jul 7th 2008 3:06PM]

App store is just around the corner...

[Tiatanium Man @ Jul 7th 2008 3:07PM]

Looks...




Familiar???????!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DCNY @ Jul 7th 2008 3:18PM]

Can Engadget stop blogging these copycats? I don't think it's positive to promote these copycats for free.

[konshuss @ Jul 7th 2008 3:25PM]

does this kind of article + round of comments look like a promotion to you?

[fred @ Jul 7th 2008 4:27PM]

"Can Engadget stop blogging these copycats? I don't think it's positive to promote these copycats for free."

So Engadget should maybe get together with other blogs in a type of pan-web effort to never report on devices like this?


Exactly why again?

No one should be in the business of censorship just because you "think it's positive to promote these copycats for free."

Whatever that means.

[James Cameron @ Jul 7th 2008 3:26PM]

Stop with your bitching. You didn't have to blog this you know in the first place you know.

[mAssEffect @ Jul 7th 2008 4:08PM]

OMG, it's a list of stuff. That's SUCH a copycat. Apple has a patent on how to display a list!

[fred @ Jul 7th 2008 4:30PM]

I will have to admit I'm lost on the whole premise of this article myself. The linked site doesn't even show enough images to determine anything close to what this posting is saying.

[Mike @ Jul 8th 2008 2:10AM]

It doesn't seem the least bit strange that every person immediately recognizes it as the list view used specifically on the iPhone, as opposed to all these other lists that apparently exist?

[Yor1001 @ Jul 7th 2008 4:08PM]

This is weid I ordered a teclast flow 2 minutes ago, Coincidence, I think Not!!

[ZeRo @ Jul 7th 2008 4:42PM]

I'm sad the meizu m8 became vapor ware...

[Luke. @ Jul 7th 2008 5:34PM]

Oh, it's YOU.

[Luke. @ Jul 7th 2008 5:35PM]

[wetworker @ Jul 7th 2008 7:09PM]

Ya, Like the LG Prada.

[wetworker @ Jul 7th 2008 7:11PM]

U right, LG should sue apple for bitting their Prada U.I

[chickenator @ Jul 7th 2008 8:07PM]
