Dock for Meizu MX is under development

Back in May J. Wong posted on the company's official forum about a docking station for the Meizu MX and yesterday two photos surfaced on Weibo (chinese equivalent of Twitter) showing the engineering unit being tested. It's currently unsure whether these are the final designs of the circuit board but if they are there's at least a coaxial digital out port as well as a full sized USB port. JW also promised a HDMI out but it's nowhere to be seen on the photos. It will be interesting so see what will develop from this. Maybe a full dock with speakers? What do you think?

Check out two more photos after the break!

I think mostly what the photos show is the USB plug on the MX is really strong.

In my opinion the SPIDF port will better than COAXIAL, but that just my opinion.

Coaxial is also SPDIF.
btw: I see they're using Thinkpad, great laptops, that's a good inspiration to make rugged cellphones

Added one more photo!

I got scared when I didn't see any video output.

This is how I would use it:

DVI to screen and coaxial to speakers (duh)
USB to portable flash drive for extra space
Install Onlive for gaming.

I just hope they create good software for network sharing, would be nice to be able to stream all movies from the server without it being to difficult. I can really see the MX replacing my media computer.

The last photo shows a serial port I'm afraid. It's probably for debugging and not video out.

but the other side of the panel has an hdmi, at least it seems like that.

The pictures of the grand opening are looking nice. Great shop and great huge MX banner above it. The Chinese know how to advertise...

Wrong thread yo

Anyways, the dock seems to be in a pretty early stage. Can't wait to see it done though

Damn, didnt even think about serial port.

Dont get the point with USB and no video-out though, what would I connect?

HDMI - S/PDIF out .... they are all very attractive.

but 16GB .... is never gonna be enough.

What are you guys doing with all the storage on your phones? I never had more than 8GB used on my phones o.O


And that already includes a few dozen audio tracks, lots of photos taken with the phones camera (100++!) some videos recorded and lots of apps and some pdfs/ebooks etc.

Er.... few games and You already have 8GB used up

15Gb for my audio files up to date.

The average discspace required by android games is around 15-20mb, so how many games are you storing on your cellphone? :D Right now I have only 8 games installed but those require only 120mb (3+8+22+55+3+8+6+15) ^^

I got to add though, that I tend to keep only as many apps installed as I really need (right now ~70) since too many apps usually slow down the system.

I only have few games from gameloft. also just got GTA 3 aaand Real Racing 2 , both takes almost 1GB. Also ShadowGun, Bang Bang Racing

For games I use onlive, runs perfectly on MX.
For video I use Orb.

Though I have 10GB of music, but 16GB still works for me
