本来我都不想说什么的，但有些人总是不懂装懂，
Though I don't wanna say anything, someone are always trying to pretend as professional guys. (read next sentence for reason to say this)

显示屏和触摸屏是２个部件，m8的显示屏是在三星定制的，但触摸屏不是．
Dsiplay screen and touch screen are totally diffirent components, display screen of M8 is from Samsung, but not touch screen.

m8是聚集了很多家国际优秀公司的最先进技术于一身．
M8 is really good production with many advanced tech. from excellent international companies.

这次德国展我们带去１台m8工程样机和２块开发板，虽然还没能实现多点触摸功能，但总算给所有期待m8的人 一个正式的交代．
We will take one M8 prototype and 2 mainboards to Germany, although we didn't achieve in multi-touch, we can give a formal explanation to all who are concerning M8.

现在只能用单点触摸演示，但我们肯定会很快实现多点触摸技术的
M8 can only use single-touch to demo at the moment, but we are sure of that it will be soon to achieve multi-touch .

以下是引用J.Wong在2008-3-2 21:33:00的发言：
显示屏就是显示屏，触摸屏就是触摸屏，不同的２个部件．
display screen is just display screen, and so it is the same as touch screen, the two diffirent components.


iphone的做法是把显示屏（２mm左右）以及触摸屏（用０.５mm左右的玻璃做成的）和表面保护的玻璃 （１mm左右）三个部件都粘在一起．
The way for producing iPhone is to stick display screen(around 2mm), touch screen (0.5mm glass) and surface protection glass(around 1mm) together.


iphone的显示屏分别在东芝／au等工厂生产，然后送到中国生产触摸屏的厂商并把３个部件都粘起来。这 种方法很麻烦。
Screens of iPhone are produced in Toshiba and au seperately, then are send to touch screen manufacturer in China to be combined togeter.


而 后发布ipod　touch则没有这么做，只仅仅把触摸屏和表面保护玻璃粘在一起而已，这整个过程只在触摸 屏工厂就可以完成生产，跟显示屏不搭边，这种工 艺更有利于采购，生产以及成本和降低不良率甚至日后的维修。大家随便在网上搜一下它们的拆机图就可以清楚的 看到２者工艺的区别。
But it is not used for the later iPod touch. Screens for touch sticks touch screen and protection glass up, and this step can be finished in Touch screen factory, with no business of display screen, and it is much better for organizing purchase, then decrease production cost, unqualified rate and even the maintanence rate. All of you guys can search the disassembling pictures in web, then can find obvious distinction of the two techniques.


m8采用的就是后者的工艺。另外我估计m8会定价在2380（8GB）
M8 uses the later technique. Besides price for m8 may be 2380 (8gb)

以下是引用J.Wong在2008-3-3 23:29:00的发言：
真的是一台工程样机和2块开发版
They are really prototype and 2 developping boards.


只是工程样机的塑料部分没有来得及用和批量生产一样表面处理好的塑料
but the plastic parts of prototype don't use the one same as mass processed.


功能方面虽然没有完善,但主要部分已经完成,只是还没有来得及细化,
All the functions are not complete, however, the main parts finished, but still under detailing.


至少懂技术的人看到的话,基本可以得到结论:魅族确实能把大家想像中的m8做出来。
People who are caring about techniques can read from that, can draw a conclusion: Meizu has the ability to production the m8 in your images.


那么这次参展的目的就已经达到了。
And that is our purpose for this expo.

Hey,

hmm good or bad news?
Seems they plan to release the phone a few moths later right?

So is there no chance that they release it in March like often promised on all these Online-Shops?

PS: I'm from Germany, too and i will be at Cebit on March,8th and 9th

best regards

This is great news. I dont even care about multi touch, i just want to see the prototype. Everything is better than drawings or sketches. Or dummies.

retiredhench

Oooh, this is very good news indeed!
Unfortunately I can't attend Cebit, just don't have the time. I just hope all the german ppl here at meizume will pass on the info, make pictures and/or shoot a small video

yeah I had a feeling that other post was a load of rubbish, good to see Wong confirming it 100%. However, with the introduction of multitouch, this will inevitably mean another delay, I don't think we will be seeing the M8 until Q3 at the earliest, i'm thinking july/august probably.

looyea

That's about what I am worry! But, you know, there are too many chinese illegal mobile phone manufacturers have done multiple-touch in their rubbish productions, such as crazy HiPhone, except for Win Mobie, should we worry more for that? Meizu is not as rubbish as those illegal small workshops, isn't it?

LikeM8

Looyea, I think also...Is very strange! A lot of iphone copies on the web and produced in China have multiple-touch so I don't undestand that Meizu can not designed it on M8??? Very strange!

Don't forget multiple-touch is a sofware design, so nothink stop meizu to launch the M8 without function and make an firmware update with the function after!!! Very very strange I think!

sere83

I think that they only decided to include Multitouch late on in the development process, originally the M8 was supposed to be only single touch. I got the impression from Mr Wong's post that they will not release the M8 to the public without multitouch. He seems to suggest that instead of updating the software after the release they will just delay the M8 release so they can include it. Hopefully it will be better than the Hiphones multitouch, which does not look very good IMO.
