here's my latest (but by no means greatest) annoyance: a quote from some tech source, i know not which... ***************************** "Palm also had an interesting announcement at the show, displaying an integrated phone/PDA with a RIMM keyboard. The form factor is quite small and similar to its new Tungsten PDA. The phone is expected to ship in 1Q03 to both AT&T Wireless and Rogers Wireless in Canada with a list price of $549 from the manufacturer." *************************** "The form factor is quite small" translation:** it is quite small. always makes me laugh (scream? curse?) when i hear these tech journalists use the term 'form factor'. fluff. simpler words suffice. er, what i meant to say was... i wish they'd use sentences with more succinct form factors.
