Rumor: Next-Gen Sidekick Prototype Details

In a Q&A with the Sidekick maker Danger's CEO, Financial Times asks him about what he's got in his pocket. Surprisingly, Hank Nothaft tells.

A prototype of the next Sidekick (mobile-cum-internet device). It's thinner and less wide but has a bigger keyboard. Now I no longer keep it on a belt, I'm always losing it. I was known as the "absent-minded professor" as a student.

Bigger keyboard, thinner and less wide? Sounds like a winner to us. If you're really a Sidekick fanboy, head over to FT for the rest of the interview. There isn't a whole lot of pertinent Sidekick detail, but you can get some insight into their leader. [FT - Thanks tipster!]

Update: Is this the Sidekick 4, code-named Gekko or Aspen? TmoNews has more details.

Sony CEO on the Wii, iPhone, and How Sony Almost Beat the iPod

It's not often you get a CEO to sit down and talk candidly about their company, so props to the folks at Smart House who got Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer to dish out some dirt on their competition and their place in the gadget kingdom. Throughout the interview Stringer talks about his personal life (he was once a journalist alongside Dan Rather) and gives us his opinion on Nintendo's Wii, Apple, and Sony's own problems.
Stringer on PS3
"Wii is a wonderful device...if we fail, it is because we positioned PS3 as the Mercedes of the video game field."
Stringer on Blu-ray
We are selling 3-to-1 vs. them. At some point Blu-ray will take over."
Stringer on iPhone More »

LEGO Table: Playful Yet Powerful

The CEO desk (actual name) may not actually be constructed of Legos, but they certainly inspired the design. Creators Staffan Holm and Johannes Tjernberg had this to say about the piece, explaining that the furniture is indeed suitable for those in high power, making more money than me positions:
We created the desk bound by the structural laws of LEGO-building bricks, combined this with the grace of the late Rococo furniture style and painted it glossy black to evoke feelings of exclusivity and power.
Shut up, just shut up. You had me at LEGO. – Mark Wilson More »
