Microsoft to acquire Danger, makers of the SideKick 2/11/2008 2:24:12 PM      
Guess it will be interesting to see where this could head. Not great news for T-mobile who also just lost their affiliation with Starbucks to AT&T.

Yeah, I mentioned this to Dan earlier today. I also saw the Starbucks news. Poor T-Mo. Well, at least they'll be expanding their 3G network soon. And their Shadow seems to be appealing to a similar user base as the Sidekick. They've already said they plan to expand the Shadow line, and the way HTC churns out phones these days, I don't doubt that they will be the eventual replacement.

Wonder what MS will do with Danger though. Gizmodo speculates maybe it's something Zune phone related. Cuz really, I don't see any good reason for them to gobble up Danger. It just doesn't seem to fit.
