WHF can't win.
While I appreciate that a mag sometimes has to make difficult choices, with respect, that's just nonsense. It's perfectly reasonable to expect a big mag to give every manufacturer about equal coverage when they deserve it. Yet it's obvious that Apple gets much more coverage, even when nothing is known about the merits of a product, except for it's brandname (examples are iPad and iPhone 4).
I agree with your earlier post that it's pretty daft to publish a minute by minute report on the unveiling of a phone. I am not at all advocating that WHF should do this for competing phones as well. However, if WHF chooses to do so for Apple products, and doesn't even mention it's most important competitors, this hurts competition on the merits.
I have not been through the whole thread yet, but this stood out. WHF have explained, on many occasions, including this thread, why some products and brands do not get the same coverage as others. It is not as easy to get all products for review as people imagine.
EDIT - and now I have read the whole thread, it is clear some companies are their own worst enemies when it comes to promoting their products.
