Everything you are saying is hard to argue with but why don't you provide a few sources with regards to the last of Danger employees being tossed?
Without sources it just sounds like conspiracy theory. If Microsoft has no intention on moving forward with Sidekick than why did they bother bundling in their own software on the phone (which I am sure they threw together resources to code) and promise Microsoft Exchange Support in the coming months?
If I am being sued into something I don't want as a company I certainly am not going to make the product stronger no? Just because TMobile strong arms them into creating as you are saying a final product doesn't force Microsoft to build more functionality.
No?

There is no Exchange support coming for that particular device and if there was, that's the internal team getting secure IMAP mail from a secure server. The Sidekick engineers, or any other device engineers, are smart enough to access the LIVE search API without getting too many MSFT employees involved- if any-because the Microsoft engineers are as dumb as the day is long. It's just bits coming from a Microsoft server and the device application has to render them. Microsoft just opens the door-they didn't do jack after that.
