keep shocking the world with their smart
phones, and the latest of them receiving official approval could have huge implications for the tiny Chinese electronics group.
The first shocker a few years ago was when
Meizu released their Windows
CE based M8
smart phone. It drew a lot of positive and negative attention, and even prompted Apple to take legal action against the young company due to the M8's similar design to the then current iPhone (the original 2G iPhone).
Fast forward to the start of this year and
Meizu shocked again, with the
M9. A 1Ghz
Android 2.2
smart phone with an absolutely beautiful screen from Japanese company Sharp. But the surprises weren't over!
Jack Wong, then released details of his companies plans to set up shop in
California, and later leaked images of the M9's successor the
MX!
Now, the latest
news reported on French gadget blog,
CiPhone.fr, is that the
Meizu M9 has just received official
CE approval! What this now means is that the M9 can be officially exported to European markets and legally sold there.
Whether the latest news has anything to do with a Meizu launch in the EU is anyone's guess, but we'll keep a close eye on how things pan out.
