Meizu is a Chinese company well known for its ‘copy skills’ and was made famous by its M8 clone of the iPhone. Now they’re back (again at Apple) with the Mbook tablet, a near perfect copy of the iPad. Let’s not dismiss it all around just because it looks like an iPad copy, as many other bigger manufacturers will surely copy in a way or another the Apple looks for their forthcoming tablets.

    Speaking about the Meizu Mbook specs, we have an 8.4 inch screen with 1024 x 768 pixels resolution, an 1.5 GHz CPU (unknown type), integrated WiFi, 3G and GPS chips.

    The OS will be a customized version of Android and together with the integrated battery will make the Mbook last 12 hours of normal use, not Full HD playback, which the tablet is capable of via an HDMI port. Just like the iPad, the Meizu Mbook is very thin, measuring 210 x 140 x 14mm, but won’t be available this year, as projected launch date is somewhere in 2011.
