Engadget is an equal opportunity hater to anything not iPhone or Apple. They can not help themselves

Yeah, i completely ditched the site since CES realizing they can't even try to be objective while trying to be funny... Bad journalists.

MAYBE Ryan Block and Peter Rohas were Journalists, but they left Engadget after the AOL buyout to start gdgt.com
They left the kid that got their coffee for them, Josh Topolsky, to run Engadget for their AOL/Time Warner overlords.
Topolsky is an unashamed Apple and Android fanboy and runs the site as such. Co-editors such as those featured on the Engadget podcast are rewarded for giggling at his anti-Nokia rants while even handed editors like Chris Zeigler at Engadget Mobile are openly mocked...

Engadaget is peanuts compared to Gizmodo - Gizmodo is a bloody apple wankathon.

I enjoy Engadget's up-to-date, graphical site of mobile news and such.
I don't mind much about the Nokia bashing they're doing, I'm perfectly capable of filtering out some of it.
I'm a 'podcastaholic' and tried listening to theirs but was left very dissappointed. They're quite childish and uninformative, mostly it gave me an impression of fashion journalism..

I've blacklisted Engadget long ago for using opinion shaping techniques usually found in tabloid press. People like to be told what to think or buy. On the other hand you can't blame them when it comes to the booming mobile market, following and researching it in-depth is a safe way to develop ADD.
JKK and Chippy may not cover everything, but i like those guys, even though they use Engadget for JS-Benchmarking.

When/if they criticize Motorola or Palm, for example, they do it in a very different way, more as if they are disappointed but always rooting for them. They dismiss most foreign firms as clueless, and Nokia they just bash at every opportunity.
I think that on the Apple bias issue, recently they seem to have been trying to consciously reduce it, it's certainly a lot better than a lot of American media.

The site is basically in the "look what we found" school of reporting. For testing and comparison reviews, I look elsewhere. For breaking gadget news, they tend to get it first. How many other sites covered the Nokia CES presentation minute by minute, slide by slide?
If you like them, fine. If you don't, fine.
But whining doesn't become the community.
