Didn’t Danger get bought by Microsoft, who then released the Kin phone? And was only on the market for about a week.
Amazing anyone thought that was a good idea.

- GeekyBear 7y agoI seem to remember Microsoft paying half a billion dollars for Danger and then spending years rewriting everything on Danger's platform from Java into their own in-house technologies. (with the usual infighting about what division would own the rewrite and which in-house technology it would be based on) By the time they were done, the iPhone had launched and it was just too late.
