Would you like to roadtest a wider variety of products?

Roadtests have historically been conducted on single board computers, development/evaluation boards, and electronic/electrical test equipment.

We have not roadtested other products, such as connectors and adapters, etc., because there aren't too many things you can test out with them.

What do you think?

    Interesting idea!

    It would be nice to see even a few paragraphs and photos or 30-second videos of products, just to help answer basic questions about products, because store photos and product descriptions don't address everything that users would want to know. It's also nice that people can ask things in blogs, so that the reviewer focusses on the things that people really want to know, i.e. it's an interactive real-time review!

    It may be a huge overhead though, to arrange so many of such smaller RoadTests, and to ship so much stuff and deal with all the country-specific issues. 

    Just as an idea, if (say) it was possible to bundle a dozen small products together (even if they are unrelated products) then people could write short blogs, one every few days if it suits them, so that after a month or two, all the bits are reviewed.
