Here's an article about some products to be announced at Mobile Insights conference in Phoenix this week. Mentions IBM's new combined digital notepad and notebook, also Palomino (Palomino not in the new IBM product). They misspell it to Palamino, also have confusing information in the article plus bad English:

In other news at Mobile Insights, chip maker AMD in Austin, Texas, unveiled what it called a technology preview of its 950-MHz, Athlon mobile processor code-named Palamino.

Makes it sound like AMD already unveiled it, but above it says the conference is "this week." Also, do you "unveil" a product with a technology preview?

The Palamino will use AMDs PowerNow technology which changes the systems voltage and speed based on CPU utilization.

...system's voltage...

If utilization increases it speed up and increases the voltage," said Laureen Chernow, an AMD spokesperson.

...speeds up...

Slovenly writing and or editing, not even technical, but just plain grammar. There is no excuse for that.

Palamino...should change the moniker to Palamine. Hey, buddy, Palamine, can you loan me a buck?
