Someone has just sent me an email asking me if I get paid for doing reviews on UMPCPortal.
I was surprised to get the question to be honest and it made me wonder how many other people might think the same. I’ve never been paid to do a review on UMPCPortal. In fact in many cases I actually put money forward to buy a device so that I can review it.
For example, tomorrow I will be handing over 600 Euros for one of only ten Packard-Bell Easynote XS UMPC’s that turned up in Holland this week. I’ll be driving up to the Dutch border, meeting DaveW, a member in the forums here, in a car park and exchanging cash for the hardware. Hopefully we’ll have time for a coffee and a chat before the Politie nab us.
Nope, there’s no paid-for reviews here. But thanks for the question Mr C.
P.S. I’ll be online from about 2200 CET tomorrow (Sat) in the UMPCPortal ‘studio‘ where I’ll be unboxing and abusing all 1.2Ghz of the poor victim. Feel free to join into the chat session. Last weeks was fun…despite getting caught with a ultra mobile PC on my belt!
