Microsoft as in practice and planing to purchase another giat Danger Inc, this is kind of what Microsoft does. While talks are still underway regarding a possible purchase of Yahoo!, Bill Gates and the rest of the Redmond crew are also reportedly talking about buying Danger Inc., makers of the popular Danger OS found on T-Mobile Sidekick devices.

This actually might make sense, though. With Microsoft in the mix, Danger can now concentrate on the software and integrating new features like 3G, GPS, and Wi-Fi. Also Microsoft is said to be handling the backend system, so we shouldn’t be plagued by the shoddy service and outages anymore. Anyone at all excited about this? 

“Microsoft is a global leader with our Windows Mobile software and expanding mobile services,” said Robbie Bach, president of the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft. “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.”

The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company provides services that allow people to keep in touch, stay organized and keep informed while on the go through real-time mobile messaging, social networking services and other applications ― all blended together on a single phone that is intuitive and customizable.

“Danger continues to provide an effortless and fun mobile experience for consumers,” said Henry R. Nothhaft, chairman and CEO of Danger Inc. “Now by combining our uncompromised application software and powerful back-end service with Microsoft, we can expand our innovative service offerings even further and take mobility to a new level.”"

By having Microsoft on board, Danger would then be able to "concentrate on the software and integrating new features like 3G, GPS, and WiFi." Microsoft would be responsible for the backend system, so this would certainly help SK users in terms of service reliability. With that much money, Microsoft should be able to limit, if not eliminate the outages that have plagued Sidekickers for years.
