CNET Reviews the Meizu miniPlayer

Err0r · 11-15-2006

CNET.com has been sent a Meizu miniPlayer to review and here is what they have:

Meizu may not have the familiar ring that Apple and Creative have to American ears, but unlike the other two, the Chinese digital audio company dedicates all of its resources to research and development of MP3 players, which probably explains why the Meizu Mini Player looked cool enough to attract the attention of the gadget industry earlier this summer. We've unfortunately come to expect that many MP3 players that look excellent on paper don't always turn out that way in actuality. So we were both pleased and surprised to discover that the Mini Player, which is available in either white or black at 1GB ($139), 2GB ($159), or 4GB ($219), is still quite likeable once you get your hands on it...

Apart from a text-review, they have also added a video review on it.

Who's it for?
Anyone looking for an MP3 player with video capabilities; users who are prepared to work out how to encode video to match its mysterious demands

We like:
Apple-inspired styling; surprisingly watchable screen; lightweight; decent battery performance

We don't like:
Apple-inspired styling; fiddly touchpad interface; problems with encoding video but no error message explaining what's gone awry

You might also want:
You'll need a rocket scientist on standby to help you encode video

CNET.co.uk judgement:
Provided you can figure out how to encode video for the Meizu, it's a great player with decent quality video playback and the sonic fidelity of a Steinway -- with most of the notes properly tuned

I'm personally disagree with some things in this particular review but, we always need a second opinion isn't?

what is this with ppl complaining about converting video for the M6?
The convertor available from the Meizu website is super fast and alays works for me.
I select a Southpark ep. in DVIX format, click convert and 9 minutes later its done...

Besides that... there are plenty of video conversion progs available online eveywhere...
