Will Microsoft and Danger be dangerous for the Apple iPhone?

Rob Enderle over at our friends Digital Trends published an article looking into the potential of Microsoft's acquisition of Danger Inc. to challenge Apple's iPhone.

Quote: "Microsoft's acquisition of Danger could be a game changer. Danger, before the iPhone, was arguably the hottest Smartphone for the young celebrity and under-20 set of teen phone users. This is the company that created the extremely popular SideKick series of phones for T-Mobile (and often used by stars like Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan etc). Vastly easier to use than any other previous Smartphone, and actually still better than the iPhone for anything that is text related, the Danger phone only lacked two things: The elegance of the iPhone's hardware, and Steve Jobs to make it as big as the iPhone."
