Inspired by smartphone audio post; Why don't all Android blogs partner with subject matter experts for different aspects of a review?
Any of these blogs are only really good at measuring two things - Look and feel of software/hardware. They are also journalists, so they're good at summarizing to communicate complex concepts.
Like the phones they review which feature "Zeiss optics" and "B&O tuned sound", why don't they work with, and trade on the credibility/audience of people that know what they're talking about? The actual review on Android Police, Droid Life, etc. would only need to show a tidy summation, a digestible score and a link to the fulfill detail for those interested. It would be a much more rich and credible source of information then. It would also make it harder to be accused of pushing a narrative if you collaboratively review with hardcore experts behind you.
You have a general physician, but they refer you to a dermatologist when you have an intense rash. They're familiar with the condition, but they aren't experts, so they refer.
Sound good, or are you happy with the current approach to reviews?
p.s. This is the article that inspired my post. Involved, but a good read.
