It's usually the same person writing 4 or 5 reviews as well. Always look for similarities and such.
I really wish I could review products for a company. I live in a unique area where signals don't reach very well even VZW does not reach this are worth a dam.
I'm posting my review over there.
Under a different name. Somebody went around and scrounged up my user name. =\

Yeah, I would like to review products. I am hard on my stuff. Try to go the limits of something. But then, my target audience wouldn't be mainstream America. Actually, I don't know who would read my reviews....seems no one really read my reports in corporate America anyway.

So incredibly true. *sigh* lol

I love reading tech product reviews... and I love writing them too. I just don't care if anyone reads them or not.

I think lots of those biased reviews are part of the culture nowadays. The iPhone is still considered in the mainstream as the end all be all device. The iPhone was dubbed "the jesusphone." I happen to own an iPod touch and I can see where the attraction lies. It is a fun device. That is the inherent problem, when the fun masks the propriety, the price, the propriety, and oh...did I mention the propriety? Functionality the iPhone will eventually catch up...and they make those apps practically idiot proof!! So now in comes CNET...calling idiot proof (USER FRIENDLY)...meaning anyone can operate one. Of course they're going to be biased toward that d**n thing!!

Now, every high end hand held device (we'll even include the Instinct) are all compared to the iPhone by CNET, simply because they have an infatuation with the stupid thing. At the same time, they'll allow those apple fanboys and fanboyettes to make those F-ed up reviews EVEN WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN OWN THE DEVICE. So, we have this issue now on TP's receiving 1 star or half star reviews.
