Meizu's M3se Music Card -- redesigned
Meizu certainly knows a good design when they see it. Now they're taking that resizing magic which slimmed down the M6se to their M3 Music Card digital media player. The M3se packs a lighter duty 500mAh battery (down from 700mAh) in order to squeeze into its shorter 76-mm tall (down from 81-mm) chassis which features a new brushed-metal backside. They've also done away with that quirky offset control for skipping tracks while widening the control strip down the center. All these changes result in a cleaner look for Meizu's rapidly evolving product portfolio. [Via dapreview, thanks Michael]
Meizu's M3 Music Card unboxed
Even Meizu itself admits to ganking a few design ideas from Cupertino, but that's not stopping it from sneaking past Apple's legal team and loosing the M3 Music Card into the wild. Thankfully, it has apparently reached the hands of a digicam-wielding individual over at iMP3, and the results are just as cute as we'd thought they would be. The shiny device comes in a tad skinnier than the beefed-up M6, and the shots of the video playing prove that watching a trilogy on this thing would probably drive your retinas insane, but a quick episode of Family Guy might not be out of the question.

Meizu upgrades Music Card, spills deets on miniOne
Chinese manufacturer Meizu is nothing if not prolific, which accounts for not one but two bits of interesting news coming out of the company today. First up are some details on its Music Card digital audio player, which we now know will come in 2, 4, and 8GB varieties, each packing a 176 x 132 1.5-inch display, a built-in FM radio, and a promised 20 hours of juice from the battery, not to mention a whole range of interchangeable face plates. Apparently, these'll sell for as little as $65, $80, and $100 for the 2, 4, and 8GB models, respectively -- though not 'round these parts, obviously. On another front, Meizu has let loose some more info on its now infamous miniOne handheld, otherwise known as the M8. According to Meizu CEO J.Wong, the device will be available in two separate versions: an entry-level model without a camera and a standard model with one, each available 4GB and 8GB variations, ranging in price from $195 to $400. It's also apparently been confirmed that the device will indeed come with a 720x480 16-bit 3.32-inch display, although any word on an exact release date remains unclear.Read - Meizu Music Card [Via Engadget Chinese]Read - Meizu Me, miniOne detailsupdate:Meizu Music Card More pics and Meizu minione posts from engadget china.
Meizu thinks small, copies Apple again with Music Card
Sure, there've been props all around for Meizu's M6 Mini Player, but that still doesn't alleviate those concerns of iPod "homage." Now that we've spotted this upcoming "Music Card" nano foe, who's design was apparently inspired by a user submitted competition, it's pretty clear where Meizu is getting its design ideas, but we're not sure we'd have it any other way. With a shiny metal back, "reminiscent" of the original nano, along with that glossy plastic metal front and familiar screen size, the Apple references are hard to skip. Meizu mixes things up with its scroll strip and that little button on the bottom left, along with what we're assuming is expansive codec support and probably even video playback. Dimensions are familiar as well, at 6.9mm thick and 39mm wide, but enough about similarities: we're looking forward to a bit more info on this player to see just what Meizu has planned for us on price, availability and features.[Via dapreview]
