According to the AP, Palm just settled a deceptive advertising claim because their fine print that the wireless features consumers were buying for the most part were not included...If that isn't bad enough, you needed a microscope to read the disclaimer! Ummm...How can someone create a piece of ad copy with microscopic fine print and still sleep at night? I guess if you are Palm, you probably don't have much trouble at all.
"The Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday the Santa Clara, Calif-based company made misleading advertising claims that its personal digital assistants come with built-in wireless access to the Internet, e-mail and business programs.
They disclosed only in microscopic print that for almost all of the models you had to buy a separate modem," said Mary Engle, a director with the FTC's advertising practices division."
