Interesting article in Reuters about MS acquiring Danger:

I guess this is Microsofts way of saying to Google....."Game on!"

LoL.. no offense but i dont really think Google is very concerned about Dangers software. It's apples and oranges. Ones an open source OS, more business oriented, the other ones directed at younger kids.

I agree. when microsoft tried to aquire yahoo then that was a problem. but that didnt work out so well so they settled for danger. im sure were gonna get some pretty interesting sidekicks though

Yuck..... I'm canceling.... in the words of Bender(Futurama) "gag unto me with a spoon"....

Does anyone know if the Ogo devices work in the USA???? I know AT&T Wireless (The first AT&T Wireless.) had the Ogo's but they got lost when AT&T became Cingular....

The Ogo's....

2.) I can't find any stores that actually sell them (aside from the ones listed on their site that are in non english speaking countries

) Good luck on that front.

I wish that some third party store would get a hold of them, I figured it was a nice alternative to the SK depending on size.

I found it... I did a bit more researching....
Ixi Mobile is actual maker of the Ogo.

See specs at link below.

(Interesting tid-bit. They are based in California)
Now how the heck do they avoid--- even **thinking about** selling in the US market then????

I'm going to try calling them in the A.M. and asking if I can PayPal them some $$$ for one... If they refuse I'll start waving the cash at their CEO... Surely he can't turn down sales forever, it looks like he's got investors heck he's got to keep them happy. All I want is one. *smirk*
