Side-by-Side comparison of similar apps

[Guest psych0t1c]

Thei Title pretty much sums it up.

What I am looking for (with no result so far) is a site that has reviews of Market Apps, but with a twist.

Instead of looking at a few apps and rating them, I think it would be helpful if the reviewers went out and started to evaluate apps by genre. TO make my point clearer: when you are a newbie and you start looking around for common, everyday use tools like a Tasks Manager, Battery Widgets, RSS Feed Readers, etc the Market confronts you with a a sh*tload of Apps.

It sometimes looks as if every second active developer wrote one, and now they all clutter the Market. Of course you can go by the ratings, either the Market ones or ones supplied by like AppBrain, or you can go by download numbers. Still it comes down to painstakingly installing loads of different kinds to see which one suits you the most.

If anyone here knows about some blog or even threads on some forum where useful side-by-side comparisions can be found, reviews that list pros and cons of each App, maybe even show a feature matrix it sure would be a one hell of a simplifications for newbies as it would not require wading throuhg dozens of apps to find the one that does what you want it to do.

So does anyone know something? Or would maybe modaco would offer a subforum dedicated to this, so a collaboration of this indeed time-consuming testing can be started? I would sure as hell be happy to help with it.

What do you guys think? Is trying out dozens of apps just a rite of passage? Or do you feel checking a matrix of features and a few screenshots in ONE place would make selectionf of your favorite RSS App easier as well?
