Meizu's M8 a CeBIT no show just like CES -- surprised?

So we hurried on over to the Meizu booth in sweaty-palmed anticipation of laying fleshy bits upon a working M8 MiniOne. It's gotta be here, right? After all, Meizu CEO Jack Wong promised it his damn self. Nope. Oh sure, they did bring that siliconless, plastic mockup already seen kicking around the Nets for awhile and they offered to show us a laptop-based demo of the UI if we come back tomorrow. Although even the demo is feature incomplete. Nevertheless, Meizu is confident that it will begin shipping the M8 in China in the next "half year" while remaining coy for a rest-of-world launch. Guess reverse engineering the iPhone isn't so easy, eh Jackson?

Epic FAIL.

The fact that they misspelled "Technology" is not promising.

It'll be like the Phantom Console--vaporware from the beginning.

It's "reassuring" that they had JUST enough money to pay for the booth footage, and signage.
