After what feels like
centuries of waiting (and suffering through that painful
CeBIT demo), we finally get to see the Meizu
M8's OS in action... and it's not as bad as you think. Sure, the interface is totally derivative of the iPhone, and there is that pesky cursor floating around, but all-in-all it looks like the company has managed to knock out a decent -- if incredibly familiar -- UI for its long-delayed phone. Still, there's some low rent hilarity in this video. Our favorites? The smattering of soft porn pictures and video, and Meizu CEO and all-around bon vivant Jack Wong revealed in a reflection...
wearing a face mask! Check the clip after the break (and freeze frame of Mr. Wong).
Update: Despite our excitement about Jack Wong in a face mask, some readers have pointed out (and we agree) that it's actually the camera he's using to film the video.

can anyone say iphone knockoff?
:)
OH REALLY?!
wow. I didn't even notice the remarkably obvious similarities between this device and this other "iphone" you mention until it was spelt out for me. I didn't notice the graphical similarities of the user interface, I didn't notice the similar shape, form and function of the device and I didn't notice the LARGE SLAB OF TEXT that I believe is called an article, which spells this out clearly.
Thank you for your enlightening comment.
If you were any other person on the planet I might consider it.
Please Mr-Crash, marry me and have my children.
so forgive me if this sounds dumb, but is this gonna be released in the US unlocked?
What amazed me is the file system where we can see folders such as 'Windows' 'Program Files' 'Application Data'!!!
Has he even ripped of the M$ Windows system folder names as well? Or is that a VPN system that connects you to a Windows PC?
No, the device is running Windows CE...
Windows CE... They've done a lot to make it look nice haven't they! Personally, I would buy this device.
