I can only think that either PMP Today are desperate for something to post, or they're just completely idiots.

EDIT: to be honest these "news" have made my day. I laughed my ass off :D
come on guys, PMP today is not copying anything, they are quoting and reference the source, so they have done nothing wrong

and calling them idiots is not at all fair, if they got the wrong end of the stick then log and tell them so

be kind and love and peace to one and all

Well, maybe I was a bit rude using the word "idiot", and I apologize for that.

But I never said they copied anything. They are indeed quoting and referencing the source, and that's legit. The problem is just that there are no news to quote here, and their "article" is absolutely ridiculous (no offense). This is just a 2 page (now 3) thread where users are killing time with a "chicken or egg" discussion.

Sorry, but I don't want to give them my email or create an account there or whatever, just to post a comment.

If by idiot you mean a guy who simply wants to smoke the rat (M8) out of its hole, then I am guilty of being an idiot. We've been chasing the M8 for over a year, almost 2 years really. So what gives?

Well I'm not questioning your reporting skills but your quoting from a guy who has 32 post count, no official insight, not an admin., and stating his opinion. No offense to you both but doesn't that seem a little ridiculous.

Come on man, I already presented my apologies for that... that was very rude of me, and I am sorry.

However, you must understand that your article has no real grounds where to stand. You're quoting the (alarmist) opinion of a single user and a few replies with the normal sharing of opinions/gossip - IMHO that's absurd for a "news post".

My thoughts exactly.

Jack must be really stressed out for writing a thing like that, almost sounds a little aggressive.

You've got to be kidding when you say they're quoting and reference the source... C'mon, it's pretty much the same as when err0r and I made april fool's this and past year, is it real news?. Could you take any thread started by anyone as a SOURCE specially when there's no other sources you can check?

If so, and you don't even check the facs you have, you're just posting missleading information and I think that's just plain stupid and noob when it comes from a source most of us check frecuently and that is referenced time to time by bigger blogs such as engadget or gizmodo.

Just my two cents.

sorry marcelo1251 but i am unsure whay you are having a go here.

This is simple, PMPtoday saw something on thsi forum (the source) and decided to reference it on their site, as they have done before, they quoted and linked back to this site as it was the SOURCE of the information the saw

Then they get called idiots and that they were "copying this news "

All i said was that it was unfair to call names and say they copying as this was wrong, The only thing they got wrong was that they misinterpreted the information, quite easily done.

Meizume is very much the source of information on meizu for us non Chinese people and they trust it for information and constantly quote and reference it, because someone got it wrong is no crime and should not be attacked in such a way, as a moderator of this site i find your words and attitude a little rude and confrontational.

People believe this site which is why you April fools jokes are believed, not the fault of the sites that report that news, how are they to know you were playing a joke

Next time why doesn't someone just point out to the referencing site that they have the wrong idea rather than attacking them

just my two cents

Aren't meizu's other mp3 players becoming a little dated at this point? They have to release something eventually to keep the company afloat.

I don't think PMP Today were copying news. They wrote something, and cited the source, which is the standard in blogging today.

The article was a bit sensationalist, but if the audience likes drama - why not?
