Alienware's CE-IV audio player and HUB stereo dock

By Ryan Block

Not exactly sure where this one came from, but apparently Alienware's got a new line of audio players coming out,
the CE-IV (CE=Close Encounter, consumer electronics, get it?). The PlaysForSure compliant devices will feature 512MB or 1GB of flash memory, FM tuner, the glowing-eye logo up front, and a "memory expansion slot" (which we're really hoping means SD), in addition to docking with the HUB stereo device that apparently works with any other kind of audio player as well. Funny, we didn't think there was a way to make MP3 players with extreme performance—do these things have like a 600MHz Xscale processor or volume levels that go up to 11 or something?
