Have you tried http://gdgt.com/? I don't read gadget sites, so I don't know if it's any good. But it's been hyped on a lot of podcasts recently.

I've quitted reading engadget because of the BS they spread about Nokia, Symbian and resistive touchscreen.

You read the comments in these articles, there are like 100 people telling them that resistive also have its own advantages. Next article: ahahah nokia again fails with resistive.

Pathetic.

Their leads on the last few iPhone posts:

We always said that if Apple's arbitrary, inconsistent, and quite frankly baffling approval process . . .

We know you require your employees to pay in blood for every single button or moving part that makes it onto a shipping product, but would it really kill you to work in some proper Bluetooth keyboard support for the iPhone . . .

Apple lets devs bite their nails in real time as iPhone apps navigate approval process . . .

The Intel P55 Express chipset snafu that caused iPhones to lose their syncing minds . . .

iPhone MMS on AT&T showing incorrect sender number?

Well, if you can't beat 'em, then just keep 'em busy. That seems to be the thinking at Apple these days at least, which has ratcheted up its fight with the iPhone jailbreaking community . . .

I think they're as snarky about iPhones as they are about anything else.

Apparently the subjectivity lies in the readers

People do hear what they want to hear afterall..

Yes. Thank you. Good work. Engadget especially loves to get in digs about Apple's app store every chance they get. It's just their thing, as I said above, to be snarky about everything. If you like that and find it entertaining, then you're in Engadget's target audience. If you find it annoying, then you're not. And I'm sure we all notice the digs more about products/things we like, than those about things we don't like.

That's why I'm surprised people here have even heard of Engadget since nobody on these forums would ever think of being snarky.

Engadget reads the forums just like the rest of us... This forum and HoFo actually reported the N900 shipping before Engadget did. If you look at post times you can almost see what time it took him to post his "firsts".

Nothing wrong with that because that is exactly the service he provides... a digest of Gadget news. The rest is opinion. You can either agree or disagree with anyone's opinion.
