Amazon has a star rating system that gives a sense of how much people like or dislike an item. Crutchfield is similar, but has a smaller customer base. This forum doesn't have a star rating system. Also, in a user review, people generally give their overall impression, while this forum seems dominated with bug reports. It's hard to tell whether the complaints here are overall opinions or just people listing pet peeves on a site where they can get help. If Amazon or Crutchfield user reviews were as critical as this forum, I wouldn't buy the Touch. It never occurred to me that asking for user reviews on a major retailer's website would look suspicious, but since Amazon doesn't actually have it themselves yet, just one of their "sellers" does, I get it. -- hawaiijim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hawaiijim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37570 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77369 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
