We’re getting ripped off, people. You can get Om Malik all over the place, magazines and the like, but when you head over to GigaOm it’s only reasonable to expect maximum Om. I mean, it’s in the goddamn name.
So who’s this Matt Maier and why is he writing perfectly capable reviews on GigaOm, like this one about Samsung’s A790 CDMA/GSM phone? Sure, I wanted to know what kind of performance to expect out of the first global-roaming CDMA phone (it uses CDMA here, and GSM overseas, albeit at a $1 a minute roaming charges), but how can I possibly accept his explanations of the A790’s poor battery life when I know that out there somewhere, somebody is getting more Om than me? In fact, by reading Matt’s article on GigaOm, aren’t we actually losing potential Om time?
I demand a refund.
