Handspring Hides Flash ROM in Handspring Treo

miradu writes: "TreoCentral has just posted an intriguing article about how the Handspring Treo has Flash ROM - something that Handspring claims it doesn't. They've worked with Brayder Technology to create applications to utilize this newly discovered feature. It brings up the question, Why do developers lie about features in a device - especially if they are features that are wanted? Does anyone know any other examples?" Strange -- hardware manufacturers don't often underestimate their products' capabilities, do they?

I'm seriously hoping that this post was meant to be funny. In which case it should be modded as such.

yeah i love al of those japanese cars with exactly 276hp, when they really rate at like 350hp. i specificly thinking of the Mazda RX7, the Nissan Skyline (R34, etc) and the Toyota Supra.

although this is caused by the japanese government placing a hp cap at 276hp, because you would never need more than that, ahem 640k, ahem, aahem. but the japanese gov. trusts the automakers and does no actual testing so twin turbo Supras would roll off the line pushing like 350-400hp.
