OMFG! I can't believe they advertise this article with an "unbelievable price" but won't write what they price is. They make you watch the 6+ minute video for a price, which I tried to skim for one, to no avail.

So I google searched it. It's $354.99.

Don't blog like this, people. It's ridiculous to send people on wild goose chases for information.

I agree that not including the price in the article is silly.

At the same time - the price is one click away in the liliputing article linked below the video. They also tell you to visit the link to get the price, no video-watching necessary. Hardly a 'wild goose chase'.

And here's the link in question: http://www.liliputing.com/2010/06/huawei-s7-android-tablet-a...

This is a run-of-the-mill gadget blog by bad writers. Unless I was super enthralled by the product, say, a new iphone (shudder) or something, all I want is the statistics. I skim for those. I don't read each sentence with exacting precision. A disproportionately sized link hidden in what looks like an unrelated section (in terms of design) make this a hard-to-follow, hard-to-be-informed-by read.

Aspiring bloggers take note, this is not good blogging.
