Meizu M8 doesn't have China's stamp of approval yet, so it's loophole time

Think fast: China hasn't granted you permission to sell your long (long) overdue homegrown iPhone fighter, but you've already started production and you want to start raking in the yuan tout suite. How do you make that happen? Easy! Just slap a "Demo unit (not for sale)" label on each and every one of the M8s that rolls off the assembly line and you're back in business. If you read between the lines of Jack Wong's latest correspondence with his fans on Meizu Me, we suspect that the phones being produced as of tomorrow will indeed be sold -- you'll just need a little nudge-nudge, wink-wink to get one from the shop. Nothing wrong with an underhanded dealing here and there in the name of technology, right?

Think fast: You still haven't put A2DP, MMS, copy and paste, application multitasking, or other long (*long*) overdue features on your iPhone, but you want to start raking in the money tout suite. How do you make that happen?

...And the rest is (relatively recent) history.

Didn't this copy the original iphone? So it's now a year and a half late? I thought it looked good it first, but now it's either just crapware or vaporware. If you're gonna copy something and try to improve on it, at least copy it before it's discontinued.
