Meizu Slim 8 GB MP3/MP4 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just to warn the masses: I bought one of these last October as a 16th birthday gift for my one and only handsome and electronically gadget savvy nephew. I searched long and hard on the Web in order to find an MP3 player that would beat Apple at its own game but not cost me the extra arm and a leg for the iPod caché. I found the Meizu on Amazon, read the glowing reviews and bought the thing. Nephew loved the player, said that it was easy to use, sounded great, made him the envy of all his friends, and I immediately became his favorite uncle for life. (All right, so I'm inferring a bit on the last part here...)

Cut to six months later: he informs me that the Meizu died - completely, utterly, totally gone-baby-gone D-I-E-D died. As of this posting, efforts to reach Dane-Elec about service or a replacement have met with an eerie silence. So, if you all want to have a great player for about half a year, this is the one for you. Otherwise, keep looking.
