    Sidekick LX over the air update will be packed with goodies Posted by: admin in Mobile Gadget With the Sidekick Gekko expected to launch soon at a wallet-friendly price, it looks like Danger is giving the higher-end Sidekick LX the update treatment to keep it in the top spot. While there doesn’t seem to be a concrete date when the OTA update will roll out, the guys at Hiptop3 managed to get the rundown on some of the coming features. Video playback and recording through the “SonicBOOM” player has been further confirmed, though it’ll be limited to 3GP and easy profile MP4s. The update will also overhaul Bluetooth on the device - in addition to the hands-free headset and vCard support on the device, the LX will be getting A2DP Stereo headset support, file exchange, and bluetooth printing. Most Sidekick releases seem to get one big feature OTA right around the middle of its lifespan - seems like this’ll be that update for the LX. Via Mobilecrunch Share This Share This

    Video coming to Sidekick LX/Slide?

    Video coming to Sidekick LX/Slide? Posted by: admin in Mobile Gadget In the above screenshot of this help page, T-mobile is kindly helping visitors figure out how to navigate through their Sidekick LX’s menus to determine how much memory is available for pictures and videos. Thing is, the Sidekick LX doesn’t support videos at this point. Nor does the Sidekick Slide, which now has a similar mention of video on its help page. While it could well be a mistake, video recording, playback, and messaging are oft-requested features of the Sidekick/Hiptop community, and the device does have over-the-air update support. With video features being pretty much a standard thing at this point and the list of comparable devices growing rapidly, it’d be crazy for Danger not to do everything in their power to add support.
