Customer experiences aren't matching up with product reviewers take. And it does seem these same mainstream media reviewers from WSJ to Engadget tend to "overlook" Apple's shortcomings and funticonality but yet will nick pick to death of a competing product.

Let's just say it's getting harder and harder to find an "Truley" non biased objective websites out there.
Nah it's always been that bad. When MS was waring against OS/2, MS played the media to really skew reviews. The media killed OS/2, not much has changed. It's smart marketing, something Google has not learned.

Apple plays the media well and does a lot also to get bad press removed. Do you recall the PC adds a few years back, what can you buy with $1000. Businessweek wrote an article which showed Apples execs demanded that MS stop those adds. MS claimed they would not stop running the adds, interesting enough at the time the article was written the ads quit playing.
