Are there any products you own - that you'd like to write a RoadTest Review for?

Predominantly we setup RoadTests based upon discussions we have in the element14 Community team, or when we're approached by suppliers or manufacturers that would like their hardware 'tested'.

It occurs to me though, that many of our members may already have hardware, equipment or kit that they could or would like to write a RoadTest for, maybe we could even supplement these with accessories to help the RoadTest along.

We would need some way of deciding which product to setup the page for to RoadTest, but we've had a number of times now where people have stepped forward and said they'd like to RoadTest an item that they already have. It may have to be something that Farnell stocks, fundamentally.

Let me know your thoughts.

    One that springs to mind would perhaps be a RoadTest of an add-on for a piece of existing test equipment such as a feature unlock licence or an expansion module.

    I love this idea.  I have no idea what I would choose to review at this moment, but the idea has great merit.  I really like the idea because I think that a "Review" is assessed as a deeper dive into the equipment than a blog post - even though that assessment could be inaccurate.  shabaz posts some incredible reviews as blogs that are very helpful and inciteful.
    Right now, I think the litmus test is "Is it a Farnell/Newark/Element14 item?"  (Farnell + detailed) = Roadtest.  Else = Review Blog.
