True Story: I tried to be an iomega customer last week!
Ok, so I was in the market for a backup solution for my company, and despite knowing the lore of the "click of death," and having read enough about people having problems with JAZ disks, the REV still looked like it might be a good solution for my business. I decided to start with a single purchase and see how I liked it, so I went to iomega's website and tried to place an order.
The website rejected my order, claiming that my address was incorrect on my credit card. Ok, I had just moved from NY to WI, so I decided to try a different card (maybe I forgot to update that particular card's address). Again, no dice, the site said the CC company rejected the transaction, due to an address problem. Ok, I'm a little concerned about this, so I call the CC company - not only did every transaction come through, but iomega is now getting ready to send me FIVE drives instead of one. Sigh... so I call them up (iomega) and they say they will correct the CC issues and just send me one drive. I can expect it in a week. Well, a week passes, and no shiny new REV drive on my doorstep. I call IOMEGA and they never processed the order, and didn't ship me a drive. Ok, I ask, can you send me one now? Nope, they tell me they're doing inventory and they won't ship orders for another week. LOL - why the heck would they need to do inventory if they never ship customer orders in the first place?
At any rate, just ordered a Sony AIT tape drive and I think that was the better route to go. I was probably iomega's first, and last, online customer. LOL.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
