Couldn't have put it better myself. You, my friend = win.

I just can't wait to start seeing some drool worthy Sidekicks. I just find this acquisition to be unexpected on so many levels. When I think of Microsoft's mobile sector, I think of suits. When I think of the vast majority of Sidekick users, I think of annoying tweens (I know, it's very ignorant of me, I've grown to accept it). This is gonna be interesting. It's like a sitcom--the suit and the tween have to learn to coexist and trouble and crazy antics are sure to ensue! Tune into Fox--whoa, I got a little to into that one... Yeah, let me press submit now....]]>Aug 2nd 2008 10:05PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/
I really hope another device is following right after this for the next month because if not the that was a cool 500k for nothing... ]]>Aug 2nd 2008 11:24PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/
500k?]]>Aug 2nd 2008 11:31PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/
all it really needs is to get rid of that shitty store setup (let users create and use their own programs ala palm), all new UI, decent media player, and a nice browser... and i'd say the phone would be in good shape.

could go for a "sleeker" design too.]]>Aug 3rd 2008 4:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/
I hope they make changes because they will have to wip out some godly sh*t to make me wanna go back to one.]]>Aug 6th 2008 11:11AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/Aug 2nd 2008 11:49PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/Aug 5th 2008 6:25AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/Aug 4th 2008 12:10PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/02/microsofts-quarterly-report-confirms-500-million-spent-on-dang/
For example, when Microsoft bought Visio, it did a quick rebranding exercise, however in the long term, it used the assets of Visio in building BizTalk Server and Visual Studio designers - products which weren't even conceived at the time of the purchase of Visio.

Microsoft has just bought Danger. I'm not interested in what's coming around the corner, I'm interested in what they do years from now.]]>Aug 6th 2008 6:12AM
