Wired.com Android bashing. We need to revolt.

Love the sig, KZI. May I use it?

Yeah, I got it in the Wallpaper gallery. I just cropped and re-sized it. Think it could be a bit smaller but then the text isn't clear. If I had photo shop I would adjust it. But just grab the image if you want it.

Edit: I trimmed it a bit, looks a little better now. Enjoy.

It's their website, they're entitled to their opinion, and nobody is forcing us to read it. I don't see the problem.
 
Here's just one example of the Droid bashing that goes on at wired.com...

"...
A few days ago we got Motorola’s Droid in the mail. The device is quite awesome. Beyond being offered on Verizon’s network (which consistently squelches AT&T in coverage and speed) the phone is forged from super-solid (and stylish) hardware. Plus it runs freaking Android 2.0 as its OS. From reviewer Priya Ganapati:
The Droid runs Android 2.0 (aka Éclair) as its OS. It feels more refined than the first version of Android on T-Mobile’s G1 and it’s certainly better than the muddled interface on Motorola’s Cliq.
The Droid’s 5-megapixel camera has up to 4x digital zoom. It produces photos that aren’t too noisy and it does well even in low light, thanks to the built-in LED flash.
The most exciting feature of the phone, though, is the Google maps app — with built-in turn-by-turn, voice-guided navigation. Replete with text-to-speech features, the maps are layered with traffic data and a satellite view. But here’s the best part. It’s free! Hear that? You don’t have to pay $10 a month as subscription or buy a pricey $100 TomTom app. You can just zip around with the Droid and Google Maps.

That's bashing? I would rather read a even/balanced review than a fanboy article about the Droid. There was nothing that has not been said in other reviews. That review is actually one of the best I have read. Did you even read the first line of the column;
The Droid is Motorola's second attempt at an Android phone but the first one they've actually gotten right. More importantly, it's one of the first phones that can legitimately stand head-to-head with the iPhone -- and come out ahead in some significant respects.
Like I've said before I have a Droid and my husband has a iPhone, we both appreciate our devices for what they do, and both enjoy to play with each others phones. I'm no fangirl and he has always been a Blackberry user till last summer. Are you sure you are not a Droid fanboy? Please point me in the direction of the bashing?
