Apple CEO Steve Jobs has responded to the current freeze on Meizu M8 sales, accusing the company of blatant theft.
In an email response, Jobs responded to "why?" by saying, "because they stole our ideas and intellectual property."
The Chinese Intellectual Property Office halted M8 production and all marketing recently, and many were curious why.
Meizu's M8 is a touchscreen multimedia/smartphone device that runs on Windows Mobile 6.
From an aesthetic standpoint, the device looks very much like an iPhone 3GS.
Meizu's upcoming M9 has a different design and will use a customized Android operating system. It may turn out that Meizu just lets the M8 die as the M9 will be released in December.
