In an already overcrowded flash-based MP3 player market, how do you differentiate yourself from the crowd? Well, China’s Meizu is hoping to do it by taking everything customers love about the iPod nano, and then cramming a bunch more features in, including video.

Meizu’s M6 mini player looks and acts very much like an iPod nano, right down to its touch-sensitive click pad. It boasts a reasonably large 2.4 inch 260,000 color QVGA screen, set in landscape mode, and has the same white (or black) plastic front, and brushed metal back as the iPod family of players. The player comes in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB sizes, and is a flash player, like the iPod nano. Meizu rates battery life at 20 hours, and we got about 17 on average.
