Ah, but did you buy the underlying network? The Danger servers that are doing all the on-the-fly modifications to the HTML and images and storing all your data? Did you know that the devices themselves are sold at cost, unlike most phones? Danger's strategy is very different from Palm/Handspring/Nokia's. Their interests are much more (though not entirely) aligned to those of the service provider.

I think it's premature to judge Danger on these scores yet. Let's see what they actually end up doing, not what they could do. I very much get the sense that they are making it up as they go, so I'm reluctant to judge them as evil when all they are is unprepared.

Besides, the Hiptop is already so nice compared to what i had before that really, I'd be OK if no other apps were ever made for it (even though I'm writing a Hiptop app right now). I bought it for what it was, not for what it might possibly be. Yes, it would be a mistake for them to restrict development too much. I'm not convinced they are going to; they don't strike me as that dumb.

Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work.
