My problem is when an entire company is reviled because of a perceived 'closed' platform, or suspect business practices, or just because they feel the price are too high...
Hmm, a business practice would be the only valid reason to revile a company...

What I often miss in reviews is comparisons between different companies. The only thing you often read is "A is good, B is bad". While A might be good but has some problems while B might also be good but has some other problems. And finally, the product that fits best with you is the one that has the least problems in the functions you're searching for.

For me, I'll never buy an apple product. Simply because the closed platform is such a huge no-no for me, that however good the product is, it'll never overcome that.

(oh, and fanboys, for whatever company, can put me off as well...)
