T-Mobile Sidekick update

I own a T-Mobile Color Sidekick. This gadget is one of the coolest out there for mobile data. It has a flip up screen that will show you a qwerty keyboard that is very comfortable to type with. As such, it allows you to easily keep up with email, AOL Instant Messenger sessions and SMS messages.

Well the reason today is a good day is because they FINALLY updated the OS in this thing. The update details can be found in the Read More… section, but they fix a lot of the little problems I’ve had with the device. They’ve also added a catalog application where you can purchase and download software to the device. Right now everything is free, but that will change soon I’m sure. Two of the freebies were really cool. One is Terminal Monkey which allows you to SSH or Telnet into your boxes, and the other is LED Football. It’s a clone of the old time LED based American football handheld game. Pretty damn cool. Still no sync for Notes or Outcrap, but hopefully that will come soon…
