THE SIDEKICK Received an email question on LJ's use of the Sidekick. I was just testing a friend's device. In a word, it's crap. Major problem: the keypad is set too deep in order to accomodate the goofy swivel screen. The interface looks like it was created for junior high school kids. I wouldn't be suprised if the young punks made up its dominant demographic. As the manger of a private equity fund once told me: "No serious business professional uses a Sidekick." Spend a morning riding on the elevator in my building and you'll find truth in that statement.
