Danger Hiptop SDK


Danger Hiptop SDK 03/19/2003 10:26 PM
The Danger Hiptop SDK is available. Boing Boing posted an inaccur ate rant from AaronSw about it; you actually can run your own apps on your own Hiptop. But it's still a problem that only T-Mobile-approved apps can be downloaded. It's increasingly clear that the cellular industry needs to be vertically disintegrated just like wired telcos and ISPs. People also need to learn that "unlimited" plans are part of the problem since they incentivize carries to screw with their customers to limit network usage. I'd much prefer an uncensored pay-per-bit plan (or Paris Metro Pricing).

Danger sells out its customers


Danger sells out its customers 09/08/2004 07:14 AM
Cory Doctorow: The CEO of Danger, Inc., makers of the Hiptop wireless PDA-thingy, has done an embarassingly rotten interview with Engadget, in which he admits that his company is selling out its customers and locking down development for the platform. Last year, I wrote a public apology to everyone that I recommended this device to, because I'd been fooled by a presentation given by Danger at a PC Forum conference where they made a bunch of now-broken promises about the openness of the Sidekick. A year later, we have more broken promises and a device with even worse policies. My Sony-Ericsson P900 has many failings, but at least I can install my own ringtones and software without having to go through the company's politburo to get authorization.
Can customers upload their own ringtones?

No. There’s an effort by the industry to make people pay for the content on these devices...

What about allowing developers to create user-installable applications for the Sidekick?

Not user-installable. We’re a gatekeeper in that sense. they use our developer kit, they reach an agreement with us, and then through us they can have access to our user base.

tmo_sidekick_ii.jpg imageA bit of interesting chim cham from one Mr. Brahe, of One Internet Lane: Apparently, while futzing around with the new Sidekick II in San Diego, he happened to pick up on an important difference between the old model and the new: While user-submitted programs for the first Sidekick had to be approved by T-Mobile (something they were seemingly reticent to do, like, ever), Danger, creator of the Sidekick (nee Hiptop) have wrested control of user-submitted applications back, making one critical difference between versions: the new model will likely have more of what people really want: applications.

Of course, one Internet Semistar does not a source make, but if we'll follow up with Danger and see what we can find out.

Danger relaxes SDK terms, still getting
it wrong


Danger relaxes SDK terms, still getting
it wrong
03/21/2003 10:17 AM
Danger has relaxed its terms-of-service for downloaders of the Hiptop SDK, but they're still layering on restrictions that, IMO, endanger the long-term health of the device, since it's only by creating a space for innovation without permission that Danger can hope to have real, killer apps emerge.

People have said that the restrictions are necessary to keep apps from sucking too much bandwidth or to prevent malware from being installed on users' devices -- but these are the same risks borne by ISPs that allow anyone to connect any PC, with any software, to their network. What's more, it discounts the possibility that apps could be developed that reduce the bandwidth sucked by a device (for example, a mailer that allows me to specify that mail with a high enough SpamAssasin score in the header shouldn't be downloaded, or a browser that uses the Google API to fetch sections of pages that are relevant to my search-terms, rather than the whole page). Likewise, it discounts the possibility that users can distinguish between good and malicious software, say, by installing software released or recommended by people they trust.

It forecloses on the possibility of someone building a Danger PIM-syncher (right now, you can put your calendar, contact, memo and to-do info into your SideKick, but you can't ever get it out of it, and if you stop being a T-Mobile customer, they'll remove all the data from your device, so your calendar only exists so long as you're a T-Mobile customer) (this is why I'm not using my SideKick as a calendar -- and carrying an extra PIM device).

In the end, Danger needs to decide if they're shipping an Internet device, one that's end-to-end and allows users to define their own services; or a telephone device that can only run the services approved by the phone-company -- and if they choose the latter, it's only a matter of time before they're displaced by someone building the former. Meanwhile, this thread on the Danger Developer Forum clarifies it still more fully: right now, the only apps that can be installed on a SideKick are the apps that Danger signs off on.

Wake up Danger and T-Mobile: this is my device: I paid $250 for it. It's contemptuous of your customers to restrict how we can use our lawfully acquired property. Link Discuss (Thanks, Katrus!, and via Hack the Planet)
