I'm actually glad Jason posted it.  The criteria they listed (especially
#2 and 3) make me suspect/hope that the Danger Hiptop
(http://www.danger.com) may be launched here soon.  Which is something
I've drooled over since T-Mobile launched it in other areas last year.

Because, hey, major coverage could mean phone, web, AIM, and (with an
SDK release) SSH in a reasonable form factor.  Which would rule.

And that's much more interesting than a half dozen messages spanking
it over what a project/company was/is named.
