C|NET has a review of the new color Sidekick phone/pda hybrid from Danger, soon to be available for T-Mobile customers. The new Sidekick keeps pretty much all the same features of the old one, but bumps the RAM to 32 megs, and adds a transflective color screen with 240×160 resolution capable of 65,000 colors. Nice! The added features apparently come with no size or weight increase, and the new Sidekick has even better battery life than the old. Price and release date unknown, but I expect availablility by the end of the month at $400 base price.
Incidently, we missed an announcement by Danger that they’d released a free beta version SDK last month. You can get the download at developer.danger.com. This is good news for Sidekick owners as more programmers are likely to develop nifty programs to fill the gaps of the Sidekick’s software.
