Alienware Planning Android iPhone Killer?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the competition-means-better dept.

meteorit found a story about rumors of an Alienware phone based on Google's Android phone OS. As Dell has a history of bombing with handhelds, it would be interesting to try the Alienware brand instead. And I'm not exactly sure where they get off claiming that their drawings are the first pictures of the thing. Cheesy renderings designed explicitly for your website are not quite pictures of a product... they are artists impressions.

    I think they mean it's literally an iPhone killer. You see this isn't just an ordinary phone. It's what a ninja would be if it were a phone. These ninja-phones, if you will, act as your everyday phone, but when in close proximity to an iPhone the ninja-phone transforms into a ninja star or katana and literally kills the iPhone and it's owner. So you see it is the iPhone killer.

    ...in the market of "13 year old boy's imaginations".

    I was thinking maybe they should add something that looks like a jet intake, a sub-woofer, some neon underglow, flame stickers on the side, and maybe some spinnaz.

    I am pre-emptively naming it the Dell Alienware AREA 51 EXXTREME XENOMORPH. Its default ring tone would be "Crawling in my skin" by Linkin Park. I hope it has Myspace Mobile.

    ... well there's no real keypad to get sticky. It just wipes right off.

    Actually, I think it looks like a stick of deodorant.

    Oh, have you heard about the Coca Cola iPhone killer? It looks like a soda can.
    Have you heard about the Starbucks keyboard? Well thanks to you, I now have one.
