p2pnet.net News Opinion:- Danger Inc’s HipTop e-mail reader/Net access/phone was to have been on sale for $199, by now.

Marketed as SideKick by T-Mobile in the US, the mobile has automatic ‘over the air’ synchronization between the Web interface and the device so data entered into either instantly appears in both, without a cradle or cables, says Danger

“Sharp’s role should also eliminate the threat of production shortages that have plagued Danger, which has run out of inventory several times since it introduced its first products nearly two years ago,” adds Reuters.
