"Given the Meizu M8's not-so-faint resemblance to another semi-famous handheld, you'd think trying to get a patent on the design would be fairly fruitless -- but it looks like the company's giving it a shot anyway. This Chinese patent app was apparently filed last February, but China's patent office just published it on the 16th, so we're not even certain which bad render, doctored photo, or cardboard mockup of the M8 is referenced within. Still, Jack Wong had better get his lawyers in gear and get this patent on the books -- Apple might be slow in getting to China, but it's not going to be happy once it does."

What, Apple owns the grid menu layout? Or Apple owns the idea of devoting the whole phone surface to touch screen?

Admitedly it's similiar, but not close enough to claim patent infringement.

Actually I like this one better than iPhone by a long shot.

It should have a better audio chip too, I had a Meizu player and it sounded excellent, better than the iPod I had previously!

Meizu actually make sopme pretty good phones. Much better than the Chinese rip-offs of real phones. That's what I mean this one isn't a clone. The actual clones are much cheaper versions of the real thing and look exactly the same, but cheaper - the way a knock off rolex looks like a rolex, but ultra cheap and shoddy looking

Meizu just make similiar phones, and usually have as good or better specs.
