My opinion on why Meizu's products are better than Apple's is because:
1. More customizable
2. Cheaper
3. Work basically the same (and better than) as Apple's
4. Meizu products feel more solid to me
5. Works on all platforms

6. Works as a flash drive out of the box
meh, I can't think of any other things off the top of my head. Feel free to reply though.
Meizu still needs some subtle improvements though, such as being able to use the device while it's charging. Frustrating when it runs out of battery in the car and my 12V USB Car charger makes it temporarily "bricked". (I like my 1000 songs, and not a huge CD changer please)
