"I've used the ENVY from Verizon which has tactile feedback and frankly, it wasn't as good as the iphone not because of the feedback, but because its scrolling and typing wasn't as "smooth" as iphone's."

Did you mean the LG Dare or LG Voyager? Those have touch screen with the tactile feedback or aka VibeTouch. Plus Verizon no longer sells the Envy, they only sell the updated model which is Envy2.

If you read the actual blog, it clearly states you can install XP if you wish as long as it is a legal copy. However if you want you can pay them an additional one hundred dollars to install it for you.

I don't know what your talking about. But I personally find from what I've seen so far that the Android Software is nicer and easier. And iTunes?! Seriously?! One of the most overrated, bloated piece of crap software. My Zune 3.0 Software runs 10x faster then iTunes 8. Oh well whatever. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

It's nothing too exciting really. They take down the store whenever they are announcing an update to a product or introducing a new product at a Keynote. They've been doing this for a long time.

Alienware is a horrible company. I've had problems since day one with my Area 51 m5700 system that I purchased in 2006.

I had place an order for two, both with slightly different specs. I paid with a Cashiers Check which is suppose to be as good as cash. Well according to Alienware it's not and they had to verify it. Come on houses freaking close on these things. They then tried to tell me that we owed an additional $300 for the other system which was BS. They then said they made a mistake and told us we were right. Days turned into weeks and it was a month later and guess what? Still no system or anything. I filed a complaint to the BBB and sent and email to Mr. Aguila. He contacted me on a Saturday telling me he'll put me in contact with some one who speaks directly to him and that this is not the typical Alienware Customer Experience/Service.

I'm put in contact with some one by the name of Suzy. We eventually got our systems, but the following day my video card died and my combo drive never worked. Suzy contacted me, I explained to her the situation with the laptop and she expedited the repair order. I had it back with in about 2 weeks.

Fast forward a year later (June 2007) I start having cosmetic issues. Cracks appeared in the system, and the feet padding are falling off. Contacted Mr. Aguila again, with pictures of the system, as he said I could contact him if I ever needed to. He put me in contact with a Mr. Nunez. I also sent in our other system for repair as it experienced similar problems. However we never got it back as some one in Alienware or at Fedex stole the system. They replaced the system, with an updated model and parts.

Took about the same amount of time for the repair and got it back, along with the new one three weeks later. Purchased the extended warranty for the systems. Fast forward to May 2008, the same cosmetic issues occurred again, I contacted Mr. Nunez as he was helpful the last time. System ships out for repairs, contact is very limited, not as helpful as before. I then find out they shipped the wrong parts as they accidentally marked my system as the one being stolen, so they were expecting the new one (how this happened I'm not sure as I sent pictures of the system).

In the end it took two months for them to get the system back to me. Mr. Nunez was no longer helpful, and had very little contact with me through out the repair. He offered a free game as compensation which I took, but couldn't play it with out my system. It wasn't until I threatened to file a complaint to the BBB that all of a sudden their vendor had the part. I asked him twice how come their parent company DELL can replace a motherboard on a 4 year old Optiplex System for a corporation with in 4 hrs to a week max and Alienware can't replace some simple parts, he never answered those questions. I also had a problem with my support history account, with not being able to log in. I was constantly told they are working on it and should have an answer in a few days. Again never did I get an answer and the problem never got solved. I even contacted Mr. Aguila about my system, support history account and never got a response back from him. So much for the contact me at any time if I ever need to.

So in the end, those of you considering Alienware should stay away from them. They don't care about their customers, their telephone support is outsourced to Costa Rica, their business practices are horrible, and the quality of their products are horrible and made out of cheap plastic. Save yourself from spending a ridiculous price just for the brand name and go with another company that doesn't have these problems or poor quality in their products or customer service.

This is old news Engadget. It's been proven it's fake and is just a mock up. Please do everyone a favor and stop being like every other site that posts misleading information.

That article is a year old. Even though it may still be relevant more and more people are buying Zunes this year compared to iPods. I wouldn't say they are taking over iPods cause that would just be a lie. But it's doing better than last year. Next time post a more recent article then something thats dated.
