Chris – you need to take what “j” said as constructive criticism. I would bet none of your ausdroid followers care what the box looks like or what else is in the box (take a poll if you like). Ausdroid followers are following you because they care about what a device DOES. Keep the vids relevant ..oh, and snappy (a 60 sec review doesn’t need to take 6 mins).

chris, for the next survey, perhaps a free form box at the end of the survey so you can get some additional free-form feedback??

I think the Ausdroid team do a fantastic job. I love the site for it’s style of writing and presentation. At it’s core, the site comes across to me as being honest, to the point and comprehensive. I really enjoy what you guys and gals do. I really hope you don’t take criticism (both rude or otherwise) to heart.

Tia’s response to J was perfect IMHO. She justified her video maturely without resorting to “if you don’t like it then fuck off”. That is admirable. The Aussie tech crowd can be a tough audience to please and it in terms of satisfying that crowd I think the Ausdroid team stands out regularly.

If you look past J’s rudeness, you can see (s)he offered some valuable feedback. Free form unsolicited feedback is far more valuable than a survey with regards to a specific article. And don’t forget that the article sells itself as a ” good tech preview” which an unboxing video is anything but. Maybe if the specs where talked about in a little detail (easily done with only minimal preparation) as well as a quick view of the device in action it might have hit that target more closely. It doesn’t need to be in depth but rather light and to the point. Just enough to whet our appetite for the full review.

I am grateful for the time you all put into the site. I am sure much of it is voluntary and thankless. But I hope you all keep on doing it because this reader enjoys it. Keep up the great work!

Looking forward to your impressions. I would be interested to know how fluid the ui feels in your opinion. Actually a quick flick through the menus and running some of the basic apps to give us a little bit of the flavour of the tab would have made a great addition to this vid. It will be interesting to hear what uses you found for the sPen.

btw nice voice!
