But in the last year or two, the word has been peddled more then the village bike. Mobile Widgets, Widget Platforms, Widget Commerce… it’s all become so widespread that no-one even pays attention to how stupid a word it is. So when we came across things like the official page for the Samsung Tocco Lite, along with all the other trailing press release nonsense, we just couldn’t take it. “Mobile widgets customize the screen with embedded widgets such as clock, scheduler, and other useful apps. Online widgets connect you to useful info including stock updates, weather forecast, latest news…” Aahhhhh, make it stop, make it stop. How can they use that word 3 times in so little space?! Anyway, the Samsung Tocco Lite does indeed have some easy, instant-access options for accessing the certain things the internet, and indeed the phone itself, have to over. But, seriously, do they need to be called widgets? Can’t they just be buttons? Or options? Or tabs, even, we like tabs as a word.

[Rant disengaged. Breating returning to normal. Red mist lightening] Read this Samsung Tocco Lite review if you’re hungry for more stats, or have a little look at the (foreign) TV ad below that is about the Tocco Lite even if it doesn’t at first seem to be.
