Sidekick

How much is the Sidekick worth to you? If you're Microsoft, try $500 million, which is what it spent on Danger, the parent company of the uber-popular Teen texter (ask your kids).

The questions still remain of what Steve Ballmer & Co. plan to do with it (probably some sort of consumer device), and what kind of timetable they're looking at. (Hint: Not anytime soon.)

Stay tuned, folks.
