04.20.:

Not much news, just some printed pictures showing the music interface when the phone is rotated.

the first picture looks like a web browser to me. I don't like those circular buttons on the music interface, hope they are not like that on the final release.

You're right, it does look like a web browser. I wonder if it's finished...

Jack was going to show a video of the GUI, I wonder what happened with that...

Maybe at the end of April, when the prototype is finished. (if it's finished by then...)

Looks a bit weard releasing a sketchy picture of the browser/music 10 days before showing a (completed?) GUI video. O well...

Maybe the bottom bar shows when you touch the screen?

I think your right about the web browser cause you can see on the top right pic it has a web address on top. meizu website

Wow. I'm so excited... *rolls eyes*

So you made some blueprints. I'm so proud. Seriously, this is becoming a waste of time. I mean, I've already bought something else, but why I still care, I have no clue.

This is the original thread where these images were posted.

From the google translation, it looks that some Meizu BBS members were complaining about freedom of speech and how another member got banned... and then JW's last posts (all 4 on that thread) look like he's justifying his absence, since he was busy working on those sketches.

If I'm not completely mistaken, this is starting to look like some kind of soap opera, with intrigues and all, lol

Anyway, I wouldn't count these "new" images as real news, since they're probably a bit old (the final UI structure was supposedly handed over to EiCO design a while ago already). JW is just trying to keep the lions quiet by giving them something to chew on :P

I think JW makes these sketches and sends them to Eico to make it nice. This is just the layout.

Yes, I agree.

But according to JW himself, the final complete UI structure was already handed over to eico last month.. that's why I think that these images are old. But of course, this is only speculation.. we never know if he's still sending them new sketches.

I hope Mr. J Wong puts a video up soon because it seems like a lot of people are losing interest. I hope to be hearing from JWong soon.

It's bizarre is it not, to post images with scribblings on them? makes no sense to me, just before the near finished product is revealed. Hope Meizu won't let us down with the prototype date

He still has 10 days left to keep that promise you know :D. Or they're having a delay in releasing the...err...delayed final gui design on the delayed final prototype of the one-year delayed m8......

Rofl that entire sentence just sounded too funny
The GUI was presented as final back in september '07, finished m8 units were in a new promise before the end of 2007 and the prototype at CEBIT last month nearly fell apart while demo'ing it. Just too much humor if we don't see a video soon!

I sure hope we get to see a video. I hope we get to test the Minione (m8) also.

"the delayed final prototype of the one-year delayed m8......"

Huh?

I'm actually explaining that sentence in the paragraph below that...

I have updated the first post with the latest posts by JW.
