Meizu unveils M8's UI, more fodder for Apple lawyers

meizu1.jpgIt’s been a while since we had any Meizu M8 news, but shame on you for thinking those damn brilliant reverse engineers down in Shenzhen weren’t hard at work. Two months after iPhone’s US launch, Meizu revealed the user interface scheme for its upcoming touch screen phone. J. Wong, the company CEO posted the following pics on an internet BBS. Looks pretty slick, but also quite a bit like the UI of iPhone. Not surprisingly, Chinese fans of Meizu are pretty excited over the release, but folks over at Engadget aren’t nearly as thrilled, and understandably so.

Controversy aside, this Shanghaiist still intends to buy an M8, if it ever sees the light of day, provided that the pricing is reasonable, especially now an 8G iPhone is only $399, and free unlocks are widely available.

    iPhones are widely available in Shanghai. You can them for about 5,000 unlocked at the electronics market at Huai Hai and Huangpi Nan. However, texting service doesn't work and online capabilities are ordinary.
