What I WANT to know is this, will it run in Narnia?

Shure!
As long as you stay colse to, or in your closet...
also if you are out there and get receprion you know you are close to someone who got out of his closet, is still in there or has a skeleton in the same
But that is only in Narnia.
(darn, that was a wardrobe wasnt it?)

....uhm..., why dont we talk about the Tin Man of OZ and if he could run Android o.O do you think he has enough buttons and mega Hearts??

j.Wong estimates the release of the M9 for October (thou he did not say what year '^^)

[SOURCE Meizu bbs]

Crap... October Thought it was August. :/

August, October, yeah right Jack.
'm9 Not so fast, is estimated to October'
We all know what 'estimated' means folks.

unfortunately, M9 will come in october, if I understand it right:

Oh,
by the way,
did you hear too that J.Wong estimates that the M9 will be released in October?

Yeah. Thought it was August but he now says October!
J.Wong

...which, as we all know, actually means February 2011.

Does that mean, that the Android Firmware will come with the M9 too? Or will the Firmware come before the August (or whatever)?

we all hope that there will be an android fw and that this isnt just a target of JW

hahaha, october 2030 yeah?

lol, we all do i think.

But i think it comes down to the following; m9 will probably get launched at the end of this year/beginning next year. Don´t consider on buying it immediatly cause the M9Se won´t have as much bugs as the m9fe.

Also i think if they are serious on placing android on m8 as test case for m9, they are already working on it & will have most likely already a working but not bugfree version. Problem exists here on how to get it safe on to m8 devices without crashing the device. So until they got a decent dualbootloader á la Tinyloader you won´t see such leaks.

My evil geuess is this:
they dont know how they want the exterior to look like so they have not finished deciyding what hardware the M9 will have exactly.
they are still teaching their Windows CE guys how to programm for android.
so... all they can do right now is to make concept art in Photoshop and Flash diagrams (or similar) how they want the UI to behave.
They can easily get the linux drivers for the s3c6410 chipset but they will probably have a harder time to get good drivers for the M9 chipset.
Also they need drivers that we could not find for the Audio codec (probably both Wolfson) the GSM unit, the different touchscreens they build into the M8 versions and the M9, for all the sensors the M8 has and the M9 will have.
Drivers for the camera (so at least 2 drivers for the M8).....

If they delvelop the UI simultanious to the drivers they probably make use of an emulator and we will see screenshots long before the 1st skinned test firmware. and we have seen only two screenshots by now of photoshopped concept art :P

The pessimist on my shoulder whispers: Early 2011.

I don't want to wait so long so im trying to make myself believe that it will be out in August... ^^ If it isn't out then... Then I will wait until October, and if it isn't out then I´ll be like

I think so too! We all know when the M8 was estimated and the date as it really came out...

Android on the M9 will be a good thing. There are already thousands of apps for the Android and it is backed Google. Sounds good to me! I just don't know where I can buy an M9 in the USA. Does anyone know?

sure Android is a good thing. That's why we are hoping to have the M9 with Android.
The M9 is not out yet. If I'm right the M9 like the M8 will be no export product. So there will be the opportunity to buy it at chinese shops or an chinese ebay dealer.
