The much anticipated release of the Meizu Music Card, also known as M3 is finally here. Even though it’s a little bit over a month later then the expected release date, a lot of the electrnics stores in China now have the M3 on their shelves. With the news also come the official price confirmations: 500/599/899 CNY which is about $65/$80/$120 for the 2GB/4GB and 8GB versions.

After the break check out a bunch of pictures of the actual units along with a nice size comparison to iPod Nano, cigarettes, business cards and we even see some macro shots of the controls and ports. The guys at HandPop always get some great images.

We also added a video by Charbax from CeBIT 2007 with some hands-on action.

With all the hype around LG “Chocolate” phone, when it was coming out, especially around its “touch-sensitive” controls, it became fairly obvious that this is something we can all expect from many other manufacturers of portable devices. Here is one such device, the MS-8890T.

MSI, here in the States is mainly known for motherboards and video cards, but in China they have developed a line of MP3 and MP4 players of pretty decent quality and good prices. To keep it short, one of the only features that makes MS-8890T stand out is the touch-sensitive controls with blue backlight. Other then that the list of features is this: 2.4″ QVGA Screen, 2GB Flash memory, FM tuner, Voice Recorder, mini-SD slot and USB2.0 support.

So with a pretty standard featurelist, what is it only the touch controls that are supposed to be the seling point? Not quite, this nice and compact player will only set you back around 399 yuan (around $50). There is also the fact that MSI is a giant of a company that’s been around for over 20 years and they know what they’re doing.

Meizu has released new official photos of the M8 miniOne, a cellphone that share a lot of similarities with the upcoming iPhone, not least the touchscreen face of both phones. In case you didn’t know, Meizuhas intended to release their iPhone killer initially as an iPod Video killer withou the telephony capabilities. I suppose beside features that are way dissimilar to the iPhone, miniOne can also boast of a design that has significant differences with Apple’s first mobile phone.

As you can see, yes that’s the company name, Blog. If you get lucky and pick up their new player which should be hitting the stores shortly, you probably won’t be logging into your WordPress and writing some posts, but what you will do is watch some content on a 4.3″ screen with 16:9 aspect ratio ready for HD. You will also have a better audio experience with double speakers, or use AV-Out to go through your TV.

One of the features we have been seeing recently is the ability to install 3rd party hard drives which is also implemented here allowing you going anywhere from 40 to 120 GB. “Surely 120GB is more then enough”, you might say, oh yes you do. This player is pretty much a portable DVR with recording functions and ability to schedule when you want the recording to start.

With all the features and HDD storage the unit is a bit bulky and the design is not the sexiest ever, but this player definitely makes up for it with it’s abilities.

Newman is the most popular portable media player manufacturer in China, but, alas, we’ve only written twice about their products, and one of them is a video by Charbax, which features the M6000 and an apparently camera-less M8000. As Charbax’s video report indicated, the maximum storage capacity of the M8000 (which comes in black and white versions) is 200GB (not bad at all).

Newman makes very usable and yet elegantly designed PMPs, and the M8000 is no exception. Video support is up to par with current consumer needs: MP3, WMA and MPEG-1 (DAT, MPG, MPEG). MPEG-2 (DVD) and MPEG-4 (AVI) formats. The 4-inch widescreen (with 16:9 aspect ratio) has 16million colors. The on board 1.3 megapixel camera records video in720 x 480-pixel resolution. The M8000 also functions as a PVR and has a game emulator, TV out, SD extension and 4.5 hours of video playing. The price for the 80GB M8000 is 1,999 yuan ($261).

We’re not sure if Meizu CEO Jack Wong is going to push through with this concept. He said the M7 is going have a 3-inch touch screen with 16:9 aspect ratio. It’s got better viewing space than it’s nearest Apple competitor. However, Meizu is going to take a while to get this into consumer hands. We’re still waiting for the M8 and the miniOne has been the object of speculation for the better part of this year.
