Given his high activity here, we consider that it is superfluous to create an additional thread to duplicate his announcements which are already quite well publicised. MobileRead is an independent site, and we have to be careful to avoid showing favoritism to one company over the others. There are no Sony reps posting officially in Sony's name on MobileRead, that is why we do the reporting ourselves. We must think about a balance in the news here and Astak has already quite a high profile due to Robertb's presence. It's important we not neglect other brands which are not as actively represented here but which are important to our readers. |
I agree with you, Zelda, in fact mainly this thread was sort of a "check-for-user-good-requests" to build a good product... which I think isn't so bad...starting from the principle for a good and universal use and yeah, there are also brands who points to the brandname like Sony, Apple just for marketing...
Obviously, EVERYONE, Astak included, has their interest to sell...it's pretty normal....each one in their way...
I could be wrong too...but this is actually my honest opinion...
See you around
