Color Hiptop Arrives In Europe
While those of us in the US were happy that (for once) we got access to a cool mobile device before Europe or Asia, now it's our turn to be jealous again. As expected, the Danger Hiptop launching in Europe is a color device, but they won't start selling them here in the US until they run out of stock on the old monochrome screens - which, perhaps, explains why Amazon is giving away the Danger devices for free (if you sign up for service, of course). Interestingly, this article points out that Danger has been relatively quiet about the color screen launch, because they don't want to upset folks here in the US (and make them leave the non-color devices sitting on the shelves while they wait for the color ones).
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
