Archos 5, 5g and 7 "internet media tablets" are here to slap your puny PMP upside the head {Engadget}
Aug 19th 2008 1:17PM hmmm, pretty dissapointing to say the least. These are all beasts! the entry level at 4.8 inches. Styling is pretty poor IMO too. And I don't know whether any one noticed but the battery life is abbysmal. 12 hrs audio 4hrs video, can you imagine what battery life must be life browsing the web over wifi or 3G? pretty poor effort all round from archos. Cowon kick the crap out of them every time, the P% is gonna sh*t all over them.
Meizu M8 interface redesigned yet again, gets all sparkly {Engadget}
May 25th 2008 2:10PM haha, well this debate revolves around how you define 'working with'. the M8 will certainly use a Samsung/ARM processor and Samsung Nand flash. I'm not sure whether Samsung helps companies with developing platforms for their processors, but Meizu certainly have a working/business relationship with Samsung otherwise how would they get their processors, nand flash and all the other samsung compnents meizu use?
And you talk of 'chinese sweat shop' manufacturers. Do Apple and most of your other Japenese and western 'customers' not manufacturer their products in chinese sweatshops? I think you may want to read up on that as you seem a extremely naive seeing as Apple had been in the news a lot about their sweat shops. For someone working for Samsung I thought you would be quite knowledgable about Chinese sweat shop manufacturing as Samsung owns factories in China! so you don't even know about your companies own factories! Oh no wait let me guess....ur factories pay their workers a lot more and have better conditions do they?.....I severely doubt it some how.

Meizu M8 interface redesigned yet again, gets all sparkly {Engadget}
May 24th 2008 10:06PM people can say I'm a fan boy but I don't own an meizu products. I fit none of the fan boi criteria. The M8 is not even out yet....I am well aware all of thjis talk is purely speculation. I simply have been interested in this product. Your welcome to click on my profile and see what I have posted. At times I have gone about it in an agressive and sometimes unessesary manor which has often subtracted from the credibility of my arguments, but the truth is I have simply tried to show the other side to the 'Icone' argument.
When you look at my comments you can see how much more informed I am about the facts releating to the prooduct and how many don't look beyond the surface and just read words like 'china' and 'clone' or see a few images and think the worst.
People who understand the history of electronic manufacturing and the way these companies rose to prominence and the current way these products are manufactured are really the only ones who can make informed credible comments or jusdgements about what Meizu is doing as they know the industry, it's processes and it's history.
To be fair the engadget comments probably are not the place to do it but I just think the bad press Meizu has recieved has uncovered a lot about western opinion of China and that people should spend more time researching the facts before making uninformed judgements.

Don't get mad, YOU typed that 'fanboi' nonsense in the first place.
haha i'm not mad at all the geezer was just chatting rubbish. What Fan boi nonsense? I said:
"Brand loyalty is a joke. Fan boi's are dillusional. Maybe you should all go to the factories where all these products are made and compare them, then lets see if you notice any similarities.....GO MEIZU!"
How is this nonsense? sounds pretty on point to me and Is not hyprocrtical either as I said before. Use your brain u joker. hahaha

"Brand loyalty is a joke"
"GO MEIZU!"
Oh the hypocrisy.
haha, you mug. When did I say I was loyal to Meizu? i just like this phone. Since when has liking 1 product from a company made a person a fan boi? If another better product from another company came out I would probably be here talking about and supporting that instead.
Meizu M8 interface redesigned yet again, gets all sparkly {Engadget}
May 24th 2008 12:10PM haha for once you apple & htc loving dick heads can suck balls, that interface does not look like the diamond or the iphone or any other device as far as I can tell.
When are you all going to accept the fact Meizu is not like other Chinese clone manufacturers and are actually trying to make a really good product with a great feature set using quality compnents. Eico are a well respected design house and they have come with a great looking and original UI. J. Wong we salute you!!!
If you honestly believe that Meizu would have spent this long just scratching their arses you are a fantasist yourself. This is definitely going to come out and I hope it is a great success. How are they going to survive after not making a new product for so long? Go to Eico's website and look at the M8 Icons in their client project list. This is actually going to happen or do you think Eico is a fake company too who design vapour intefaces?
Brand loyalty is a joke. Fan boi's are dillusional. Maybe you should all go to the factories where all these products are made and compare them, then lets see if you notice any similarities.....GO MEIZU!
UK ASUS Eee 900s come with stunted battery, longer warranty {Engadget}
May 24th 2008 11:25AM typical, the uk always get F***ed over. I have to agree though asus have really made some very stupid moves in my mind. Putting poor battery life in a product like this, is simply inexcussbale IMO. It's supposed to be ULTARAPORTABLE! Not ultraportable (but you must carry a power supply and be near a power socket to get any descent usage time).
I can see Asus loosing a lot of market share once the competition show their stuff. As people have mentioned before the 701 was a revolutionay product for the price point. The 900 and the 901 are just looking like a rip off when you consider what the likes of Msi and the rest have got in mind
HP UMPC 2133 specs revealed, street date of April 7th? {Engadget}
Mar 26th 2008 10:04PM If you ask me, both asus and Hp have got it wrong. Hp have certainly blown it using a VIA cpu for sure. And the EEEPC 900 will simply not have enough storage.
If it was me making a similar machine this is what I would go for:
8.9 Inch 1280x800
Pentium M ULV (1.2/1.4ghz)/Intel Atom
80GB (5400rpm/7200rpm) 1.8 inch hdd / 16gb flash options
6 Cell Battery
1024mb 667mhz DDR2 RAM
Wireless 802.11 a/b/g
XP PRO/ Linux variant Options
SDHC slot
3 USB ports
retail >>>> $525

Teclast's M26 PMP touts oodles of touchscreen {Engadget}
Mar 22nd 2008 3:08PM haha if the interface actually looks like this I will suck my own balls. All these chinese companies put up these mock ups then release some glitchy frimware ugly looking interface rubbish (check the Ramos RM970, pree release shots). Don't expect much, especially from a company like tecleast
Meizu's CeBIT booth shut down over MP3 licensing issues, not the M8 {Engadget}
Mar 5th 2008 4:24PM hahaha, shame, engadget really need an education in how to report stories OBJECTIVELY. Stop bashing meizu then bringing us almost obsessive updates about their progress every 5 minutes, face it you will all be buying an M8 when it comes out. Long live Meizu! the iphone has no chance in china! hahaha
