While everyone’s attention is on Microsoft’s acquisition bid for Yahoo!, Microsoft quietly gobbled up Danger. You may not be familiar with that company name, but you probably recognize their product. Danger created the innovative “Hip Top” communicator in 2002 - which later became the T-Mobile Sidekick . We’ve been having a lively discussion about smartphones with Mitchell and others making great observations. When considering Smartphones, don’t forget Sidekick - it’s an entry level smartphone that performs wireless synchronization of emails, address, calendars and more. Plus it offers a great web browser and instant message client. In the states, the Sidekick is offered through T-Mobile. Your guess is as good as mine about what Microsoft will do to with Sidekick. digital-fingerprint@geardiary.com
