I understand why review sites are useful. I'm not advocating they disappear, but I do not think personal blog posts which are highly biased are useful. Especially in 2013 when these platforms have been around for years and years now.
- untog 13y agoI don't understand what your concept of "bias" is. A review on a review site is a person taking the device out for a test run, and seeing how it works. This personal blog post is a guy taking a device out for a test run, and seeing how it works. It would be biased if he worked for Google, or if, at any point, he expressed a disproportionate favour for Android without backing it up. But he didn't. Why is it biased?
