Also I think that the Gemei X-750 at MP4Nation sounds very like a very nice player, but except for a video review, I do not see much information. It says it has an HD screen--what does that mean?

Meizu have a good interface for any kind of files... let's say that is properly an Operating System, as it is iPod interface, but with more options: a video player, a FM tuner, a voice recording. One good option is the capability to let the user customize its functions, or skinning, which is something that makes this players enjoyable for more techy users. In this aspect is more a toy or a gadget than simply a player.
Other players, like Rockchip and some Action, are based on an utility to navigate the files stored in the flash memory... sort of Harddisk. Rockchip have also turned to be a customizable player as some manufacturers are developing firmwares and tools to deal with such functionality. Teclast is ahead in this area.
Gemei (and Hacha mentioned above) are Chinese companies devoted to more advanced technologies, offering better characteristics. I don't know how their software is, but usually this players are managed by limited Operating Systems which let the user to enjoy its technology, but not allowing them to customized it. In other words good players.
As iPod is... a good player that do right what was made for, but a player not a toy. Anyway this brands Gemei and Hacha are bringing to the user lots more than an iPod player. just an example: its screens are delivering images of above 1 million colours, while we used to watch around 300k colours in the best players. Archos, another Chinese brand, sport not just a FM tuner but a TV tuner, with recording options.
Some of this Chinese companies (Meizu and Teclast) have gone into the silly race of mix a cell phone, a MP4 player and a PDA... a challenge set by the smart guys of Apple... but that's another story
