Jim Louderback Says Personal Media Center Is A Dumb Idea
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 01:30 PM
"The PMC tries to be good, but it's so full of compromises it winds up being worse than Bill Gates doing the white-boy rap with Eminem..."
Harsh words, but given Louderback's track record, I don't put much faith in his analysis. Back in his days as editor for TechTV's Fresh Gear, he was incessantly critical of new products and often showed a lack of understanding in his reviews. For example, when Pocket PC devices first came out, he complained that internal memory only allowed a couple songs to be stored on a typical Pocket PC, obviously unaware what purpose the built-in Compact Flash slot was for. :roll:
I'll wait to get my hands on one of the PMC gadgets before passing judgement.
