Welcome back everyone, to another edition of “The Roundup”! And Happy 3^rd Birthday to The iLife!

This week I’m talking about Sidekick users having no data, Finland requiring internet, and Amazon giving you your products even faster.

This week I have three stories for you. Let’s get started.

1: From : Technologizer
Microsoft to Sidekick Users: We Seem to Have Lost Your Data
Sunday, October 11, 2009

If your one of the few people who still uses a Sidekick then, as you probably know, you’re having some issues. See, the Sidekick doesn’t actually save its data to the phone, it is stored in volatile (meaning if you turn the power off, it’s gone) flash memory and it’s synced it to a Danger (the company the makes the sidekick, now owned by Microsoft) server. This may sound cool, since theoretically if you ever lose your phone, you still have your data and you can access it via the internet. But that means you’re dependent on some server, somewhere. And this week, that server failed. Danger/Microsoft managed to lose all of their customers’ data. To make matters worse, there only advice was to “not turn your sidekick off” and that your data was almost certainly lost. Luckily, they were lying and managed to recover most of it. However, do you really trust them to keep your data safe? Plus, it’s time to move on from the side kick, I mean wouldn’t you want to switch to the much more open and interesting T-Mobile G1 or MyTouch?

Take a look at the rest, after the jump.
