“Sidekick LX”
The 2009 edition of the Sidekick LX, which was known during the development phase as the Sidekick Blade or the Sidekick 2009, will be released on May 13, 2009, after a pre-order period beginning on April 17.
The new handset makes various adjustments to the hardware, including a 3.2″ WVGA display with 852×480 resolution and a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. However, most of the known changes involve software and improved functionality for social-networking applications. Support for Facebook, Twitter and MySpace is now native to the system, allowing the handset to pass along notifications in the status bar as it does with instant messaging, e-mail and so forth. YouTube playback is also supported on the system.
Though the handset is now a Microsoft product since that company’s purchase of Danger, there’s remarkably little Microsoft presence on the handset. The company says it will offer synchronization with Microsoft Outlook / Exchange, but only through a download via the applications catalog. The highest-profile Microsoft addition to the handset, Live Search, will be integrated with the new GPS functionality; the mapping software previously relied on cell-tower triangulation (a far less accurate process).
