Dane-Elec release soon new range of MP4 and Personal Media Players

The Torminator · 09-26-2008

Hi guys
I've got this a while ago from the Costumer Service of Dane-Elec.
Might bring up some news.
Dane-Elec is planning to release a brand new series of MP4 and Personal Media Players called "Zikmate"

More specified 4 players:
”Zikmate” a simple pocket player with Touch Keypad, for kids

”Zikmate Touch” a Cowon D2 looking clone with a micro SD slot (HC),
”Zikmate Pix” Another M7 alternative with 1.3 MP camera,
and finally ”Zikmate Mediatourch” a PMP with 4'3 large screen with FM Transmitter.

The release date is currently set on October 7th 2008, so it might be possible we already see this comes out on the market in the next few weeks.
Check it out in the download link below.

A small useful FAQ:
”Why they now release this! Are this going to be a replacement for the M8?”
Edit 13.11:
Yes, Dane-Elec has unfortunately stopped all sales of Meizu products.

Meizu itself will properly instead make sure we are able to get it in Europe and USA.
And maybe before Christmas this year.

Marry Christmas then.
We just need to wait and see...

I have got more news about those players but also small useful news this time cerncerning about M8 (off tropic)

You may notice that there haven’t been any release yet or even much info to get.
I can tell you that they have renamed them. Maybe explain it. They not called Zikmate anymore but “Music” instead.
They planning to release them by the end of next week.
Where?, properly in Europe. I don’t know much about this.
Oh check out the Dane-Elec websites!
I know these just are rebrand’s of others player. From which ones I don’t know.

Also a new secret presentation is out.

The bad news:
I did ask for the M8 again but this time the answer was clear. Dane-Elec will not have anything to do with M8 in Europe and properly not in the USA as well. That properly explain too why J.W. talks about maybe Meizu itselves will take care on the international market and the M8 might be able to get in Europe before Christmas. (If I understand the last M8 threads here correctly)
If we still able to get the M8 in those places I would not say this is bad news.

Unfortunately Dane-Elec has also stopped all sales of Meizu products.

Why not…

This might actually be better for the consumers, because the middle man actually gets cut out now.
