Why do you want a miniOne M8?
My top reasons:

Affordable
No proprietary bloated software to install
It's an cell phone and a media player (I find it inconvenient to bring two gadgets in a small pocket)
Contract free (you can use a pay-as-you go plan, all you can eat plan, and whatever carrier )

He meant there will be no proprietary software to install on the PC.

WindowsCE is a LOT more open. It is very easy to put games or programs onto your device. I would like the M8 because it has a removable battery, USB OTG, 720x480 LCD, and is unlocked. That is amazing for a device that is less than $350.

Possibly less, too, since the prices are final. I hope the M8's battery isn't as bad as the iPhone's. I mean, 2-3 hours of talk time? Huh? For a device that Apple claims to have applied for a thousand patents for? Some weird marketing strategy. On the other hand, the iPhone just looks cool. When it first came out, it was basically useless... Until you "jailbroke" it.

Let's see Windows CE, is not as "open" and "popular" as you may think, a clear example Skype it does not work under CE, but it does under Mobile

Many PPC apps are compatibles others are not, of course you can create your own using VS, but the express version of it does not support mobile devices at all..

But I do like the mega hiper high res screen, it bright and big ... just imagine the HTC diamond with it...

I honestly believe that there will be a large community behind the Meizu. It has a lot of raw power, and I'm sure some developers will take advantage of it.

Well, I'm pretty sure that MANY programs will be made for the miniOne's custom Windows CE OS, because there's no ridiculous SDK to purchase, so even the small-time developers can make software for it. Maybe we'll see some software from our own users .

You do of corse realize that it is because of Skype. Not Microsoft.


Also, WinCE is quite open to the OEMs, as much of the system is under a shared source license.
