Seriously, what is the future of this device now that Microsoft owns them? I'm extremely hesitant to upgrade to a new Sidekick because I worry that the platform will be altered or scrapped.
MS stated that the reason behind the purchase of Danger was to acquire their expertise and infrastructure for their OTA model. It's unlikely we'll see a change of the sidekick OS from the hiptop OS to windows mobile for atleast a couple of years. They could use danger's help on the windows mobile OS front as well! ;)

No Microsoft software?
