Microsoft disqualifies itself from smartphone race
,----[ Quote ]
| In the hugely competitive smartphone arms
| race, thereâs only one real certainty:
|
| Microsoft is out. Disqualified. Not
| competitive.
|
| Why? Because Microsoft failed to tune into
| its own theme song: âDevelopers.
| Developers. Developers.â For a variety of
| reasons, the company fetished Windows
| desktop developers to the exclusion of
| mobile developers and now itâs paying the
| price.

Microsoft's Sidekick restoration turns into farce
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft played spot the difference over the
| weekend with statements on Saturday and Sunday
| that hinted at âsteady progressâ for the
| recovery of data its Danger subsidiary lost for
| many Sidekick customers.
|
| [...]
|
| The fallout was huge and Microsoft scurried to
| paint a more optimistic picture for Dangerâs
| unhappy customers, at the same time some punters
| threatened legal action against Redmond and T-
| Mobile.

Document: Microsoft, T-Mobile sued over Sidekick data outage
,----[ Quote ]
| Here's a copy of one (PDF, 21 pages), filed on
| behalf of Maureen Thompson, a Georgia resident who
| experienced a "complete and catastrophic loss of
| all data on her daughter's Sidekick." The suit
| claims that the architecture of Danger's Sidekick
| data system contributed significantly to the
| problem.

Sidekick users share their horror stories
,----[ Quote ]
| Now it seems that all my information may be lost for good. It's
| infuriating. Especially when they could have been more precise in
| their text messages and let us users know what actions may be damaging
| to the livelihood of our stored data!!
|
| I hope you continue to investigate this issue. And I am keeping my
| ears open for any legal action being taken against T-mobile/MS/Danger
| for this horrible oversight.
