Thanks a lot for the sharp photos. I know the batteries can be ordered from Meizu, but with talk of iRiver folding their mp3 division due to the competition from Apple, I'm less sure that Meizu will be around in 3 years. Even if they are, I'm quite sure I dont want to spend $50-60 to replace a battery plus cost of shipping Meizu to HK, so the hawkers of aftermarket batteries on eBay sits better with me.

I'm still not clear on whether I can use just any ol' battery in the Meizu. One opinion seems to be that I can, the other that its not a standard size/shape and I probably will not be able to find a battery suitable for the Meizu.

Q. But if the voltage rating is the same, and a generic aftermarket battery for the iPod fits the space in the Meizu, will/wont that work? Or is the space unusually shallow or small that the iPod batteries just would never fit?

Q. As an alternative to the Meizu, I've also started taking another look at the 2GB iRiver Clix. (Its 25hr battery life vs. 20 for the Meizu is an attractive feature). So if anyone has any opinions on Clix vs. Meizu M6, please share them!
