BBC gets enchanted by XDA II
November 18, 2003 [Pocket PC phone] | By anonymous 1.

BBC - a broadcasting corporation owned by state of UK (not private) is reviewing XDA II. This review is awesome and contains many catchy phrases like:

I spit on those dinky little smart phones where pudgy fingers struggle to cope with undersized keys, where the phone rings and an all-pocket search is required to find it.

BBC is not failing to mention the typically British place of meetings - the pub:

For the technically-minded, questions about RAM, ROM, GPRS, VGA, SDIO and countless other acronyms will be looming large. It is probably best if you read the manual or ask the pub know-all, if you are not the pub know-all.

Speaking of target market for XDA II:

How my children laughed when I showed them this new wonder of the age.

"Itīs a brick," they hooted, "a paperweight, or better still a doorstop," they roared.

So, no street-cool kudos for dad then, though I did find consolation in the words of Mark Twain:

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished by how much heīd learned in seven years."

They are young, they are foolish and they are not the target market.
