M8: The Chinese smartphone copycat of the iPhone
-

If you though it was another picture of the Apple iPhone, look at the displayed icons and the navigation button. Although the resemblance of the whole device with the iPhone is striking, it’s different, it’s a smartphone. Meizu, based in China, currently calls the device M8 and will gear it in South-East Asia this year.
The M8 has a screen resolution of 720×480, larger than Apple’s 320×480. It runs Win CE 6.0, provides GSM+TD-SCMA connectivity, offers Bluetooth as well as TV-Out wireless connectivity. The M8 also comes with a 3.0-megapixel camera on one side and a 0.3-megapixel camera on the other. (via vr-zone)
The situation has changed since the first iPod. When the portable audio device was out, the competition wasn’t ready to mimic Apple. Now, there are already several replicas lining up even before the Apple iPhone is available.
UPDATE: For its defense, Meizu said the original M8 design for a massive-touchscreen cellphone debuted four days before Macworld. But they kind of arranged its shape afterwards.
