Is Meizu making its Miniplayer smaller? No! Let see properly. It is the new Zino 810 which hass similar design with Meizu’s Miniplayer but in smaller dimension. It sizes 74mm x 48mm x 9.3mm and weights only 40g. From the given specification, it is most likely based on the new Rockchip solution.
We have MSC Dino A that cloned iPod Nano. And now, we have Zino that ripoff Miniplayer!

Apple’s iPod Nano now becomes the most favourite clone digital audio player. These fake iPod Nano are easily found in the retail market, even in Japan. AKIBA PC Hotline recently spotted a fake Nano named, MP34 1GB is sold for just 11,800 Yen (approx US$102)! The size of this MP34 is almost exactly same as original Nano. Most of the features are same as another fake iPod Nano - MSC Dino A. It plays MP3/WMA audio, MPEG-4 video and FM radio.

Just after few hours I pointed out the latest iPod Nano ripoff, an Alibaba trade lead of exactly same item hit my mailbox. A manufacturer from Shenzhen, China had sent me a message about its clone iPod Nano.

According to the information provided, the fake iPod Nano is built on Action’s ATJ-2085 solution. It features Samsung’s NAND chips, which varies from 256MB to 1GB. You can get it for as low as US$35 ( or maybe lower) if you could make volume purchase.
I believe you may see more and more this kind of ripoff soon as this model will be the so-called public model. Most of the manufacturers are able to clone it!

It seems that MSC is making itself in trouble. Look at its latest MP3 player, Dino A. It’s totally a rip off of Apple’s iPod Nano. Not even the case and button layout are similar, the dimension of MSC Dino A (90 × 40 × 7.8mm) is also almost exactly same as an iPod Nano (89 × 40 × 7mm). The features are quite general, not even worth to tell!

Let see how Apple reacts on it!
