Witness Ridicules 'Hands-On' Reviews of Surface

Posted by timothy on from the elbows-only-reviews-from-now-on dept.

Freshly Exhumed writes "Danny Sullivan over at Marketing Land has been tipped over the edge by various colleagues: 'After seeing yet another "hands-on" review of the Microsoft Surface tablet, I thought it would be interesting to shed more light on what exactly the journalists who assembled in Hollywood this week for the Surface launch event actually got to do with the tablets. In short, not a lot. Come along as I explain the hands-off reality of what I saw.' In response to Sullivan's criticisms, TechRadar contributor Mary To Many rebuts that merely touching something that does not operate nor even truly exist equates to an actual hands-on review. So, what do Slashdotters expect a "hands-on" review to reveal and/or include?"

  1. Was THAT The Best Name They Could Come Up With? by assertation · · Score: 1, Troll

    Was "Surface" the best name they could come up with? Geeze.

    It even makes them sound like a copycat who is coming up a day late and dollar short.

    Makes "zune" seem like something they actually had a marketing professional come up with by comparrison.
