When it comes to reviewing a new gadget, all that really matters is the answer to one simple question.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hilarious compilation of gadget reviews that joke about how a devices feels in their hand. I enjoyed skimming this. It reminds me of this post I did last year<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

You know what drives me crazy beyond the sexual lingo around new gadgets? \u201cIt feels good in your hand.\u201d There are a few extra ways to put this statement but every new phone feels \u201cgreat in the hand\u201d and I\u2019m not quite sure what that means. Does that mean it doesn\u2019t electrocute you or hurt? Everything feels good in the hand if you read every review. It\u2019s a weird thing to say.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
