Comments …Product reviews are without question the best part of Gizmodo (and Engadget). But that’s not how Lam’s diatribe reads. Lam feels insulted, but rather than say so, he says instead that RIM has insulted Gizmodo’s readers, which I find humorous in that Lam is the guy who has so much respect for Gizmodo readers that, for instance, when he found out that Cisco was going to announce some sort of slapdash “iPhone” VOIP dingus in December 2006 in an effort to protect their iPhone trademark, Lam let them (i.e. trusting Gizmodo readers) believe for an entire weekend that Apple was announcing the iPhone that coming Monday — a stunt that converted trust into extra page views.
Daring Fireball’s John Gruber on Brian Lam’s tirade against RIM because they didn’t give Gizmodo a review unit. This was exactly my thoughts about Gizmodo stupidly pretending that they care about their readers (and not the page views they lost because of not having a Blackberry Storm 2 review unit).
