The Sidekick had its own OS, like no other. I believe later versions after I left the company were based on NetBSD.

- feelin_googley 9y agoIt was not NetBSD from the beginning?
- enf 9y agoNo, it was a very minimal kernel that did just enough to handle the hardware and schedule threads. There was no memory management; everything ran in a single process. Later versions started looking a little bit more like a conventional operating system. For instance, a file system was added in 3.0 to support the removable SD card.
