An iTablet in the forseeable future, but China's tab-let-outs first

Aside from the cut-and-paste actor-replacements in James Bond trailers, controversial fake RMB, assorted videos of imposter pandas and the like, the market, its newest target is the highly publicized (yet unconfirmed and completely rumored) Apple tablet.

Finally after much hype and news, the Meizu M8 is due for release on December 8th. The guys from PC Online have had the chance to test it against the iPod Touch (because iPhones are not legally available in China yet).

The iPhone will be available in Asia sometime in the earlier half of this year (although nobody seems to know exactly when yet), and while Apple's been dragging its feet over bringing the phone here, some enterprising Chinese company has already come up with another clone, the HiPhone (not to be confused with the Meizu Minione), and from what we hear so far, it's not too bad for a clone! In fact, this German geek was so impressed by the phone he decided to do a four-part video review of it to cover everything from the box to the OS, the messaging and the multimedia systems. (We love how the packaging of the phone screams, "Innovation changes the future!")
