Should we sign a CDA with HP?

Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 03:22 PM

I received an email from HP late last week, with an interesting offer: they're willing to send me spec sheets on new iPAQs two weeks before they're released, arrange for review units to be sent out prior to release, and have increased communication with me as a leader in the Pocket PC community (and the rest of the Thoughts team by extension). Sounds great right? It sure is - but there's a high price to pay, and this is what I need your input on.

HP has asked me to sign a confidentiality agreement, which is fairly standard. But they've also stated that if I sign this CDA, I cannot post links to any sort of information that would violate my CDA. So let's say for example that I was in possession of an unreleased iPAQ, and someone sent me a link to another site that had photos. Legally, neither I nor my team would be able to post a link to that site with the leaked photos.

So the question is, which would you rather have as a reader of this site? Accurate information when we're allowed to talk about it, or links to rumours right when we hear about them? Please chime in and give me your input - I'm eager to hear what you think on the subject, and cast your vote!
