Details Emerge on Meizu M8 PMP
Way back in August, there was some speculation about a new Meizu player dubbed the M8 that supposedly ran a version of the Windows CE operating system on a 533MHz ARM11 processor. But when the rumor didn't pick up any speed after that, we shelved it.
But now, five months later, guess who's back. This time sporting a no-way-is-that-real iPhone look, the M8 is equipped with a 3.3-inch VGA display (720 x 480), 3-megapixel digital camera, A/V outputs, and a dock connector. Oh, and did we mention that it's now a GSM and 3G cell phone? Riiiight.
The one bit that's stuck, though, is the ARM11 processor and WinCE (identified as version 6.0). So even though we're still filing this under "rumor" for the time being, we do believe that something unlike Meizu's other players is afoot.

Meizu M8 in the Works?
While many in the U.S. are still trying to get their hands on the Meizu M6 miniPlayer, information about a rumored M8 successor has already been spotted and subsequently published (as headline news) on the front page of iMP3.net.
According to a member of the tech site's Meizu forums, early info from JW (whatever/whoever that is) seems to indicate that the M8 will feature a 2.6-inch VGA screen and run some version of Window CE on a 533 MHz ARM11 processor possibly manufactured by Samsung. It also seems that the new device will be equipped with a non-removable battery and be without an expansion card slot.
The speculative article concludes with an uncertain iconic equation: Samsung + Microsoft = Meizu? Whether any of this pans out into anything substantial remains to be seen, but we'll definitely keep an eye on it.
