OK... that post was a bit off. I got a little confused in posting. Obviously Danger is a platform, they do not manufacture devices. So I guess what this does is provide MS an internet-centric "dumb phone" platform to go along with their WinMo platform.

The convergence device would still work on the Danger OS, and probably more so to MS's liking. A less open platform is what they would likely desire for a device like this. The only difference is they would need a new platform to build off of as the Nvidia option is currently being designed to work exclusively with WinMo.

I still think the Sidekick Slide form factor would make an awesome transition to a gaming device. Make the screen larger, make it a touch screen and keep the QWERTY keyboard underneath for messaging (mms, sms, etc.), in-game messaging, and advanced gaming controls.
