Actually, though he expressed it with the sarcasm emoticon, I have to agree with Romain Guy's assessment as more accurate: he "overdid it a little bit".
I would have eliminated only "maximum" and 'effects' as way too broad, and "Best, Great, Fun, Cool, Coolest, Widget" as claiming too much. Also 'tesla' and 'brightest' and 'Camera'. What has the Camera got to do with it? But that still leaves over half his original list of keywords. BTW: the AndroidPIT site is returning a 404 message -- in German -- for that link.
