Microsoft To Buy Danger

[HardOCP News]

Microsoft has announced that it is buying Danger, the maker of the T-Mobile Sidekick for an undisclosed sum of money. Obviously Microsoft's acquisition will bring Danger's plans to go public, announced just two months ago, to a halt.

"The addition of Danger serves as a perfect complement to our existing software and services, and also strengthens our dedication to improving mobile experiences centered around individuals and what they like," Microsoft entertainment unit president Robbie Bach said in a statement.

Wonder if they will turn MS down too... Sure would be awesome if they did, and the company MS sets its sights on.

Being the owner of a Sidekick Slide, makes me wonder if this will be a good thing or a bad thing.

But have they made a bid for Will Robinson yet?
