Danger Scores New Funds
Danger, makers of the Hiptop wireless platform, has secured $35M in new funding which it believes can carry it through profitablity. Currently T-Mobile USA is Danger's only live customer with the T-Mobile Sidekick product. Orange is also a customer but has not disclosed when it plans to launch services. However rumours of a summer European launch have been circulating for sometime. Also there is speculation that Danger will announce another US carrier within the next few months. Our bet is that it will be SprintPCS.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
