Introduction

I know Apple players such as the iPod Video and iPod Nano are the favorites for most American mp3 lovers. I am always amazed to see Apple take the entire world by storm. As powerful in marketing and fascinating in design as ipods are, Apple is facing more and more powerful challenges in places like Mainland China. Lately the hottest buzzword is a player coded "Miniplayer" M6, from Meizu, ZhuHai, China.



Meizu never ceases to amaze its supporters and the media alike, despite its reputation for being slow in releasing new models. It's usually not more than two or three models a year. This is indeed slow, compared to its numerous competitors that are capable of launching a dozen new models at a time. Yet every new player that Meizu releases achieves some national spotlight (e.g. last year's E3 series). Believe it or not, the open sesame is none other but its well-known "unhurriedness". Well, it is simple, to get it meticulously done takes time.

It has been nearly a month now since the day I received the test-version of the M6. This prototype had a crash, but thanks to Meizu's quick reaction, it was soon gotten over. And it's never happened since then.
