Teleread says it will not do a rush review on the Fire, because a few hours is not sufficient to get a thorough review of such a device. The writer brings up an excellent point about current reviews slamming the browser performance:

he Fire browser goes through Amazon’s servers. Well, as hundreds of thousands, or more, users receive their Fires one of the first things they will do is check out the browser and pound Amazon’s servers. We are going to see a number of reviews saying that the browser is slow simply because the servers are overloaded. To review the browser properly one needs to use it at a time when the server traffic is at a normal level, not at a just-released-peak.

I think if reviewers said it's an unboxing/first impression review, that would be one thing, and then follow-up with a longer road test review, like Edmunds.com does with a lot of vehicles (initial review, followed by the long road test review months or a year later, though a true road test of a car would be years down the road ...)
