Evo vs Iphone poll... Deleted on Engadget?

Soooo... It looks like the Evo was starting to pull ahead and all of the sudden engadget deletes the article, poll and comments. Sadly, it was a little more balanced than the previous article that was an Apple sausagefest.
Then again, it probably didn't help Steve Jobs any that the android engadget app has a widget.

Here is the now dead link. I actually do wonder why they would delete it.

They are apple biased.

Oh, come on. Engadget has been talking about how great the Evo is forever, they gave it an awesome review, and they're pretty reasonable overall.
I bet it just became too much of a hate-fest between fanboys on both sides.

Wow I'm surprised they actually did that. Surely they have some "reason" for it.

In the past they just disabled the comments, not delete the entire article. Anybody else remember when comments were disabled on engadget?

You are probably correct. The exchanges between fanboy camps can get pretty heated.

they are biased to whoever gives them more ad money. They pay the bills, guess who the boss is? Who spends more advertising revenue, apple or evo? Thats who gets more positive spin.

thats really nasty even to think about it haha cant they really deal with android?

I can't believe anyone still goes to that site.. it should be renamed to igadget.com

This is what I wrote in the comments and look at the response I get (Joshua T. actually responded, but I don't quite understand what he said and how it relates to my comment):
http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/...he-evo-4g-vs-iphone-4-post/comments/28543355/

Joshua is trying to say that they aren't worried which phone wins in the poll since that's our opinion not theirs. Basically I agree with them everyone is getting a bit paranoid. They gave the Evo a great review, and face it the iPhone is a good smartphone. Their reason for taking down the review was good of course if they had put up their explanation right away then people would had less conspiracies to make up.

They were paid to take it down isnt it obvious. Why would they take our down? They've done numerous comparisons on products that have yet to be released how its this an exception?

To me it was a pretty silly reason... it was a poll not a comparison. People were free to makeup their own minds. I think once something is put in print it should stay that way.

Well like I said if they had put up their reason right away and just transferred the poll then it would have been fine, but the article itself was a comparison, which is silly to try to do an in depth comparison of a device you saw in a controlled environment for an hour to a device you were allowed to use for weeks.

You guys have got to be kidding me...a "cover up the EVO love" conspiracy? Come on! The EVO wasn't even winning the poll before they took it down. They even posted an awesome review of the EVO.
It's embarrassing reading some of the Android fan's comments about this around the internet.

Best Buy fired the guy who made this video. I think he should sue them.

Naw they didn't fire him yet, just suspended while they investigate. It's all over the news here in KC. I think they're reconsidering given the backlash that's going on. I still laugh every time I watch the video.

OMG So funny ....It ****in prints money!! i agree i would have made him manager

this is a hilarious video

I would have never guessed or even cared to think about where the creator of this video was employed until Best Buy freaked out about it. Such a horrible move.

I'm gonna create a similar video so those bastards can freak out again lol

The guy should of never of been fired/suspended.. Had nothing to do with best buy and all to do with personal opinion about an item.. Best buy can shove it up there ass.
And that was the funniest video i have watched in years.

haha no i'm a firefighter.

Well let me start by saying that this video is absolutely hilarious and I have now watched it going on 6+ times now.... and I still laugh my ass off. I in fact am employed by said company. Please dont mistake they are great company to work for and this doesnt sound like the whole truth is being put out there. The only way honestly they would have done this is if the employee violated policy by creating a "bias" video while on company time and using their internet to post this video... IP tracking is a ***** and trust me apple would be the one to find out where this video was posted from. And should it have been posted from a store location owned by the bix box they could essentially be in jeopardy of losing their license to provide apple products. Now if he did this at his house while not on company time yes they are in the wrong and dont stand a chance. But for them to make such a bold stand on this there is more then is being said.. Take my word for it.

Polldaddy.. really? That poll site can easily exploited and rig votes. I won't say how though. Even though "MacGuy2006" is a mac guy, he speaks the truth in regards to the poll being meaningless.

Seems meaningless to me. Palm pre beat Nexus One which beat the iPhone 3GS. Xperia X10 beat the Desire. Wtf?

Count me in for a SGS vote. I love my phone. Since I got this thing, doing the typical showing it off when I get a chance and have converted 6 iPhone users to android.

Got my vote in for that beautiful Galaxy S.

Overall the voting is just meaningless. If anything, it should be a legitmate voting process with email confirmation with IP based on mobile operating systems. All these phones are Android, who cares if they beat another Android phone? The real competitor is iOS.

I've converted 3 people over to Galaxy S, one from Sprint's Palm Pre the other from Verizon's BlackBerry Storm. The other was already on T-Mobile so not much convincing there.

Point proven Guess I'll just say it... the exploit is that Polldaddy saves the data that you voted already in a cookie. So if you cleared your cookies then you can simply revote.
That's why I find this vote to be a joke if its primary voting system is Polldaddy.

Well at least android/vibrant users can look more dedicated.

And it's that reason I couldn't give a flying duck. I'll be expressing a fanboy opinion. I'm sure everyone in any Samsung forum have said about how pathetic Apple are, an viceversa for Apple users.
At the end of the day, I see where Apple are coming from, the similarities are ridiculous. But Apple suing everyone because they're clearly worried that their plan for 'one world, one phone' is failing.

Tbh I cant see any similarities other then natural evolution of mobile device UI.
They only reason they would look similar is because it just the most instinctive way to have your icons organised on screen etc. Just because Apple like people to think they came up with the idea (like they do on every device) and Apple brainwashed, spoon fed n00bs believe them doesn't mean a thing, If Apple didnt bring an iPhone out the UI would have still evolved to what it is now and even shapes of phones aswell.

Some of the icons are similar and the devices do look similar, but imho i like the simple lool to both devices, but id never want iOS. Im surprised they havent sued the MIUI developers if anything.

I dont think they went for MIUI because..
a) They are Chinese. They wouldn't have a chance in hell at suing them because they would have to take it to their Chiina and they would be laughed out of court.
b) Its not commercial.
The reason why they hate Samsung is simply because they make devices that look similar to iPhone UI but have faaaar superior hardware and OS.

bwaghahahahhh, that was funny. This guy is pretty good. I'd have to agree with the presentation being very bland and lacking passion. And please, no more JK Shin on the stage, at least to give a long talk like he did. Like the video said, im sure he did a lot of work but It totally takes away from the experience.
You just made me watch some other episodes. I found this one hilarious as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPVBgrYCxyg

I totally agree, Samsung could have done a better job at introducing the phone. Nice and funny review!

It is kind of sad because for some it will probably take focus away from how awesome this phone actually is. And it's also kind of mind blowing that they don't spend the resources needed to make the presentation perfect. There must be some management issues.

Yes it could be better... a lot more.
