OK. [FX takes deep breath] I just get a little fed up with people whinging over whether the empeg was designed for left or right hand drive cars. Sorry. I'll shut up now.

He wasn't whining, just like borislav said. He just made an observation.

Anyways, I thought it was a good article. He makes a few observations that he doesn't continue with, which is kinda odd. For instance, he points out that there's a connector for an optional tuner, but doesn't mention that the tuner doesn't exist yet. He also talks about how great it will be when devices like this offer wireless connectivity. I guess he doesn't read the message board

The thing I like best is that, from what I can see, he didn't make the same glorious blunders that other reviewers have made. By this I mean reporting without research. He includes several quotes from empeg, either from the company or the website. He made an observation about the metal's finish, but included a contrary quote from empeg. After he said he had problems with the rotary knob on his unit, he mentioned that empeg was replacing knobs to people who experienced problems. Over-all, I think he did a good reporting job and had no really glaring errors.

I also think that this is a better approach to reviewing the empeg if they intend to sell to non-techies. The computer people who review it, as we have seen, spend time on their own personal preferences and prejudices (ie: why is it that every thing that's Linux these days gets ooo's and ahh's?), and they tend to loose sight of the intent of the product. This guy did a good job of reviewing it for the things people will want to buy it for. At least, that was my opinion.
