Gizmodo Gives WinMo Browsers a Real Shot, But Remains Biased

It gets a bit…irritating…seeing one of the most respected names in technology news be so biased towards a platform that is admittedly aged and in need of an upgrade, but still more capable and powerful than the other phone platforms in many respects. Biases aren’t welcome in any sort of journalism.
