As if tradeshows weren’t already hotbeds for rumors and speculation, the Chinese manufacturer Meizu managed to accidentally heat things at CeBIT up even further on Wednesday morning when German police shut down its booth and shuttled away all of its devices.
In the wake of the incident, bloggers quickly kicked into gear, reporting that the booth had been closed because Meizu’s M8 MiniOne device infringed on Apple’s iPhone copyrights. The MiniOne, which has been appeared in renders and pictures for a year now but not yet been released, has widely been regarded as an iPhone clone due to its unmistakably similar look and functionality.
