I wonder who wrote the reports? I've downloaded about 10
free apps, and I don't have complaints about any of them.
Excellent value given the price   8-)

Modern PR is as much about pushing negative articles about the competition onto the wires as it is promoting companies/products.  It really is high time to revive the old _expression_ "Don't believe everything you read", as a high percentage of what's on the Internet is pure, unadulterated BS.

Ah, ZDNet. They've been churning out articles about Android

that look ghost-written by Apple.

Indeed.  The links between PR agencies (read "Stealth Advertising Agencies") and periodicals is deep and strong - and spare me any "Conspiracy theories! Ha-ha-ha!" nonsense.  I was in PR before.  Saw it all first-hand.  Even without that background, it's pretty obvious that ZDNet is foul - not objective, not fair, not balanced.
