Feature:
It has everything I want for my small home/mobile studio: 2 mic input, pre-amp or 2 line-in for guitar, 2 inserts, midi, ASIO, direct monitoring, USB connection.
Quality:
It seems to be solid enough..., and stylish! I like it a lot!
Value:
For the recommended price, I think this is a very good option with very good results.
Desirability:
Alesis io|2 is very stylish... The plated colors, the round aspect, the styled buttons and faders, I like it a lot!
Sound:
I only used it for one live recording, and it did a great job. The sound is clear, with no noise and good levels.
Support:
Didn't use yet... But the website, could have more useful information.
Overall:
I think it's a very good choice. I'm enjoying it a lot. Alesis did a great job and I think it can compete with others rivals such as m-audio, or tascam.

Feature:
It came with Cubase LE... haven't even unwrapped the disc... I use GarageBand on an iBook G4. This thing has more features than I'll use. I just needed an interface for getting vocals and guitar into my iBook. I'll probably experiment with the MIDI i/o but I don't have any need for the S/PDIF at this time. All I cared about was 2 channels, XLR's with phantom power, and guitar/mic line in.
Quality:
Seems pretty solid. Aluminum casing... what else can I say? Feels a lot more solid than my Mbox.
Value:
Well worth the price! Knowing what I know now, if I'd had to pay more, I'd still think it was worth it.
Desirability:
Looks great, knobs are in a good spot, I love the placement of the XLR inputs.
Sound:
I'm EXTREMELY happy with this interface! Very low noise, clean signal from my AKG C2000B condenser. Also used it with my acoustic electric... I LOVE this thing! It's not an MBox, but it's pretty d@mn good!
Ease of Use:
I took it out of the box, plugged it into my iBook, opened GarageBand, and immediately started a session. Haven't introduced it to my PC yet... don't really care... but have heard that it's not much more involved.
Overall:
Until they come out with something with these features, at this level of quality, that works so well with GarageBand at a lower price, ... I'll be happy.
