The Sidekick MP3 Player
We’re not sure what all this Hiptunes talk is. In the past, TMobile has tried to distance themselves from Danger in their marketing. TMobile is the only one that calls it a Sidekick, instead of a Hiptop. Why TMobile would switch to using the “Hip” name in their marketing, we’re not sure. And that ad that leaked out is terrible, at least from a marketing standpoint. Why is TMobile the biggest thing on the page? Why not a huge Hiptunes logo and then a typical “only available from TMobile” ? Why would TMobile all of a sudden start using the Danger Hiptop font when they’ve worked so hard to brand the Sidekick? Why is Beyonce’s name bolded and not some eye-catching “play mp3s on your sidekick!” Why isn’t there even a picture of the Sidekick on there? And this ad is definitely aimed at the female market with the butterflies and Beyonce. And what is the text on the image? So we’re calling either photoshop, or fire the guy that thought this was a good ad.
UPDATE: Thanks to Twex on the hiptop.com forums we have a link to the source image used to photoshop that Hiptunes ad. It was also pointed out that there was an SK3 badly photoshopped into her hand that we didn’t even notice. Come on now people, everytime you see a picture of a picture, chances are that it’s fake. Why not just post the original picture?
On a related note, we’re pretty sure that Hiptunes is not the name of the MP3 player on the Hiptop 3. Here’s a hint as to the real name (we’re working on getting proof to you now):

Sidekick tones came out when sidekick 2 first came out. But you had to buy it and it was only $10. Sidekick tones allows you customize your ringtones (upload your own or download them from websites)… But danger or ·Ｔ· · ·Ｍｏｂｉｌｅ· had a proble with this because of the price, say 200,000 people purchased it.. That’s 2 million dollers for the creators of sidekick tones and none for ·Ｔ· · ·Ｍｏｂｉｌｅ· or danger.. So they made them discontinue sidekick tones… Oh yeah, the website you would get it, and many more FREE apps for the sidekick is http://www.Skdr.net/ CHECK IT OUT!!

looks like a street fighter character.
“Side Street” maybe? Or perhaps something about the RIAA wanting to beat someone . . .
