T-Mobile Discontinuing Sidekick Sales Starting July 2
Microsoft is a bunch of screw ups - Will HP be the next?
I just cannot believe Microsoft is still this dumb. They let the Sidekick- once one of my favorite phones- wither on the vine. Then they release the "Kin" , quite possibly the crappiest piece of crap I've seen (though honestly most touchscreen non-smartphones are almost equally bad.)
They lost all of Danger's top talent to Google and Palm (who lost it to Google.)
Makes me wonder if HP will be doing the same thing to WebOS.

Totally agreed. Sidekick users were once SUPER loyal customers. That server crash and lack of support for this line of phones was very unfortunate.

Well, HP already said they intend to use WebOS for printers & tablets. And supposedly there will be products out before years end. Talk about moving swiftly!

WebOS is a great operating system.Sounds like HP knows what it bought.Now if they can just work on giving Palm the right hardware to show off what it can do.

Actually, they didn't "loose" the #1 top talent at Danger, they canned him. Andy Rubin and I have been friends for over 30 years, and he did not totally voluntarily leave Danger. The venture capitalists that gained control of Danger wanted to go a different direction than Andy, and he was slowly "pushed" out of the company... I'll bet they regret that decision today, although they got their load of cash with the MS buyout....
