The big boys of personal technology have gotten their reviews out.  Of course,  Walt's is usually the best.  We always take these reviews with a grain of salt because the the access to early products from Apple may inspire more favorable reviews than would otherwise be given.  I also did a blog post on Computerworld of my pre-firsthand thoughts (wait for Rev2).  Other big sites have gotten early releases and have gained some more information.  Most notably, Ed Baig from USA Today.  Gizmodo.   Engadget.  Macworld.  Newsweek.  NYTimes.

Just had to laugh at your comment "We always take these reviews with a grain of salt because the access to early products from Apple may inspire more favorable reviews than would otherwise be given." Mossberg, at least, tends to go out of his way to be even-handed and give a fair chance to every product he reviews, whether it's from Apple or not. This approach may have something to do with his popularity and his audience's high degree of respect for his views.

 

In any case, I always take your reviews with a grain of salt because your lack of access to early products from Apple may inspire more negative reviews than would otherwise be given.
