The idiot that posted the video said they got takemn down for MiniOne patent violations. I hastily corrected him

Hi!
Some ours ago, I was searching for Meizu on Cebit and what I've seen: NOTHING! What happened? I thought they reopened?!

Wong said they did what they came to do: show the M8. The world knows about it, seen what they have. He said it's important to get back home and work on the M8 instead of just showing it.

' 2008-3-7 0:40:00

虽然今天展会已经正常展出,但我还是决定明天开始我们德国的参展人员将撤回珠海,不再继续展出 .
Meizu booth goes on its show today, but we decide to call back our team to ZhuHai, and the expo will not go on next day.'

, so it seems they've broken off the cebit-disaster.

I would be disgusted if I was in the same position. Travel to the other side of the world to show a new product and then being threated as a criminal.

It was not a disaster, the German police made a disaster out of it and the guys from Engadget enjoyed it a lot and could not wait to spread the news. They even started their anti Meizu campaign the day before Cebit opened.

The German police did what had to be done. Apparently there was some major evidence since Meizu was not allowed to show their mp3 players further on.
Furthermore Engadget is not against Meizu, the people over there just belive in what they see and they know if they can rely on news published by a company. If Apple announces a new product you can expect that they will release it in time. You can't do that with Meizu, unfortunatelly. I'm pretty sure that they want the M8 to come out and be excellent but to be honest: That will not happen. Somewhen there will be a M8. And it will be good. But not excellent.

HAHA, dude are you serious? Engadget hates ANY company that is trying to compete with their beloved Apple. Do we need to talk about the SDK?

So ... you reading another engadget site than me. They are ALWAYS complaining that the iPhone/MacbookAir doesn't offer removable batteries. They call the Macbook Air the slowest Apple machine on the block with a picture of it that is stating that the Air is slow and stupid. They are complaining about the lack of USB ports and an optical drive.
They are showing a comparison chart of several SDKs for mobile devices that shows clearly that the Apple SDK is the loser and the Windows Mobile SDK the winner.
On the other hand they made fun about the release of the M8 in 2007, guessing that it will not be in stores by the end of 2007 -- so they were right. They are complaining about the poor quality of the M8 "prototypes" - and they are right.
Conclusion: They are NOT against Meizu and they don't love Apple. As there are more products made by Apple they have a positive opinion about Apple. And as there aren't a lot of products made by Meizu they will have to wait and see what the future will bring. Until then they publish all the news, sometimes with a funny/sarcastic undertone.

And they told that the M8 would not be at Cebit, simply because there was nothing to see the day before Cebit opened.

Is it getting clear?
