School is back in session :D

People... this is not a HACK or CRACK. It's a violated OEM_SLP Procedure that Microsoft has been using ever since Vista for millions of OEM branded computers in the world.

Here's a hint for those who knows what you are doing:

slmgr.vbs -ilc then -ato.

I don't have to say anymore.

Wow thanks Engadget! I can't wait to pick up a pre-order!

... and they are still being edited on Final Cut Pro.

@Charles:

No, Apple is not the standard. It's just a marketing hype. I am an audio/recording engineer and I use Apple products too. I just returned my iPod for a Sony Walkman despite I have purchased a lot of music from iTunes Store. The reason? AUDIO QUALITY.

Ever noticed that when you crank up the volume on an iPod the audio gets all distorted even though the source never hit 0db to begin with? And no matter HOW you adjust the EQ it's not going to help.

Let's face it, Apple has failed in terms of audio quality and signal processing. Crank the volume (gain) up high and it starts the distortion; totally useless and pointless equalizer that will cause the distortion at first place, let along the customization.

It simply sickens me when I walk by and get blasted with completely distorted waveform they call "music" that comes out of the crappy headphones they wear. Sony includes a high quality set of in-ear buds that produces great audio, compare to the standard ear buds Apple included in their products, Sony's earbuds simply out performs Apple's "trash" if you will.

On the other hand, Sony's signal processing is way superior. Dynamic normalizer (compressor/limiter/expender, or the "Dynamic Trio"); fully customizable equalizer that will not produce a SINGLE distortion no matter how high you crank the gain up with the same source file compare to iPod; among with many other audio signal processing. It is simply superior.

If Apple fixes and enhances the audio quality and signal processing with their iPod and includes at least better headphones, then I will go back to iPod so I don't have to strip the DRMs off the tracks I bought.

BB IS one of the retailers.... Just got myself one at the Glendale CA store...

AWESOME.

Just updated my DIR-655. In addition to the sharing USB devices function, you can also use your USB cell data card on the USB port too! AWESOME.

Wow I hate to see Ryan go but... it's your decision so I respect it.

Good luck Ryan! You will always be remembered.

Actually... I would like to correct Engadget (I was the one submitted the story). This rip-off does NOT runs off Windows Mobile! It LOOKS like Windows Mobile but it is not! IT's a RIP-OFF of WM... It just makes it looks like Windows Mobile.

Sample size smaller then 30, qualitative data cannot conduct t-test. Hypnosis cannot be tested.

Result = LIE ABOUT IT.
