The T-Mobile Sidekick -- the first commercial implementation of the wonderful
|
|
Danger Hiptop PDA/phone -- is now onsale and the reviews are starting to
|
|
appear. As soon as I'm in San Francisco for more than a couple days straight, I
|
|
really think I'm going to pick this up.
|
|
|
|
That's partly because it costs less than half as much as its current
|
|
competitors -- $199, compared with $450 and up for the others. In the same
|
|
spirit, T-Mobile will offer unlimited data usage on its new, relatively
|
|
high- speed "GPRS" network for $40 per month -- far below what a serious
|
|
surfer would likely rack up under competing wireless-data plans. (Voice
|
|
time is another story -- more on that later.)
|
|
|
|
Another reason I like the Sidekick's prospects: It was designed for, and
|
|
will be pitched to, a very different market. While vendors of the competing
|
|
hybrids focus on "enterprise" customers -- the big businesses that are
|
|
supposed to have deep pockets for this sort of thing (even though most
|
|
clearly don't at this point) -- Danger and T-Mobile are targeting, in their
|
|
own words, "Internet-savvy, primarily urban, young adults in the 18- to
|
|
34-year-old demographic."
|
|
|
|
I am that demographic! Link[1] Discuss[2] (_Thanks, Steve[3]!_)
