MySpace Mobile on Sidekick
T-Mobile and Danger, the principal makers of the Sidekick messaging phone, are preparing a new application for the device that offers direct access to MySpace. Dubbed simply MySpace Mobile, it will be found through T-Mobile's Download Catalog, and should make it more convenient to access MySpace by reducing the need for new downloads, as well as by streamlining the interface. A new home screen, for instance, groups together alerts such as messages and friend requests, while photos can be uploaded directly from a Sidekick.
The companies are putting particular emphasis on the real-time abilities of the software, which unlike even the MySpace website, can inform users of alerts through "push" delivery. T-Mobile subscribers that want to try the service must own a Sidekick iD or a Sidekick 3, and wait for its launch towards the end of October.

Myspace app for sidekick
Downloaded the app last night. It is free if you get before the end of this year. It works well and great for messaging and viewing profiles. Also, it shows a pic of the person on message screen. Nice job Danger!
