Did Engadget get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Have they gone to the wrong conference? I love their live coverage of the event but some of the comments this year are a little snide. Take a look:
And our LAST app [emphasis ours] comes from Digital Legends Entertainment…
ANOTHER medical app. This one by MIMvista. Someone, wake us when Steve’s back.
Forstall back, and another developer demo. Ugh.
Man, please let this string of demos end!
Man, these demos are crazy boring. Throw us a bone here Apple!
Okay, so everyone’s really waiting to see the new iPhone of course but please, Engadget, it’s almost as if it’s a conference for…developers. Sort of like the WorldWide Developers Conference, no? Of course there are going to be loads of app demos, that’s the idea. And as a developer, I like to see them!
This sort of commentary frustrates me, not because I’m an Apple fan but because it’s damaging to the credability of bloggers as a whole. I was hoping that people would have raised their game after the Gizmodo incident at CES yet these little jabs detract from the professionalism of a great news source.
