Oh yeah, and Microsoft already owns a phone manufacturer- Danger (makers of Sidekick). So they have everything ready to go if they decide to make their own phone.

Supposedly the new news is that the Sidekick is being phased out.

Now I see the project pink, but according to Engadget, it will be geared towards teens and 20 somethings. For me, I dont fit into this category.
You are right that Android is trying to catch up, but the way it looks, it wont take long before they do.
In fact, posted 55 minutes ago at 9:09 pm which was WAY after my post this morning, I am reading this...

"In the report, IDC's crystal ball is figuring that from the meager beginnings of 690,000 Android units in 2008, there should be 68 million Android-based devices on the market by 2013, putting in second place on the mobile device market. That's a compound annual growth rate of 150.4 percent, for those of you keeping score at home."
"While news from IDC doesn't specify the fate of Blackberry and Windows Mobile, it would be more than fair to guess that Blackberry has been taking (and will continue to take) a beating from Apple's iPhone and the smaller number of apps, compared to iPhone and even now, Android."
"As for Windows Mobile, it's been virtually invisible on the mobile scene, having been distinctly absent from the CES show in Vegas earlier this month. There's been some buzz lately around Windows Mobile 7, but mostly with Microsoft's Robbie Bach (President, Entertainment & Devices Division) talking smack about Android at CES rather than promote WM7. Maybe it's my Midwestern upbringing showing, but if you have to trash talk a competitor before your product is even near launch, that strikes me as being less-than-confident about your work." 
Did someone read my post about this topic and write about it? lol
