    **If there's anything of Microsoft's that ought to be emulated, it's their SDK distribution policy.**

    not really, tried to get xbox sdk? or ms visual studio for free? the sdk's they got are add-ons to their existing products.

    I've been playing around with it. The SDK is really nice, and includes a simulator (since there currently isn't any way to actually transfer applications to the Sidekick). Everything is Java-based (J2ME), which makes things really simple. Several very nice example applications are included in the SDK, along with a very nicely-done VT100 SSH terminal application.

    EETimes has a teardown of the hiptop... Engineers will get a chuckle out of finding the part that won't die!! There's also a block diagram.

    (hint: it's a national part on the same side as the processor)
