    You're being too harsh. "The CE-IV's sleek design stylishly showcases Alienware's alien head logo with glowing eyes" and it has "revolutionary SRS WOW HD technology" and "improved TruBass technology"! Wowzer!



    I think the Alienware designers should be congratulated for squarely hitting their target market: 9 year-old boys who don't get out much.

    Maybe they could call it the AntiPod...

    Damn that's ugly. A bit of cool factor, but still ugly.

    Well, on the bright side, they definitely will NOT be sued by Apple. It's large (physically) but at least it's ugly too. Does it have any redeeming qualities at all?

    If someone tries to steal it you can beat them with it. Plus, if the cops show up, you can point out that the culprit is the one with the "alien eyes" impression in his forehead.

    Well, I guess you found the silver lining...

    The design is interesting, but they are sort of large to be only 512 meg and 1 GB.

    I heard if you stick flame decals over the eyes it will go faster and get better battery life.

    What, no blue neon tubes? Dealbreaker.

    But Alienware didn't do its own iPod. iPod is a brand, not a entire category of portable audio devices, unless you mean the category also meaning "those made by Apple".



    It definitely is on the big side, that is a bit larger than the iPod mini for a fourth of the capacity or less.

    But when you encode in 32bit WMA that is like 6 bazillion songs!

    I don't see anything particularly bad about that design. It's edgy, it's kinda cool, and the display colors are nice.

    Believe it or not, there are some things that aren't made by Apple that are good products! Pretty tough to imagine, huh?

    I'm in no way saying there aren't. I'm just saying that this particular product is god awful ugly.

    But, with regard to the capacity, the size is pretty ridiculous. The only aesthetic credit I can give it is that it does stick to Alienware's overall look. I think their look is ugly.



    My opinion, I'm sticking to it.

    A 14 year old boy who thinks that having an MP3 player that looks like leftover tech from Doom 3 completes his world.
