MySpace Comes to Your Sidekick

The "social lifeline" that is T-Mobile's sidekick is getting a youth-friendly boost:

Sidekicks are all getting a MySpace app. The app lets you edit your profile, upload photos to their galleries and receive messages and friend requests by push. Why'd they do this? Apparently, 80% of all Sidekick browser clicks belong to MySpace. Just shows you a) what demographics use Sidekicks (kids who don't pay attention in class) and b) that TMO spies on your browsing habits. Tsk, Tsk. TMO is rolling the update starting this week and by the end of October, all Sidekick 3 and Sidekick iD users will have the program loaded on their handsets.

The teen-friendly text-o-phone will carry a MySpace publishing application to further streamline your kid's mental absence from class:
"Sidekick users are often the hub of their circle of friends, and MySpace is the No. 1 Web site our users visit on their device," said Jeff Hopper, vice president of marketing at T-Mobile USA. "We've worked closely with MySpace and Danger to create a powerful MySpace Mobile experience that is uniquely tailored for the T-Mobile Sidekick. We think MySpace and Sidekick users are going to love having complete control over their MySpace universe right from the palm of their hand."
I dunno, though: is MySpace still cool? I thought everyone was migrating to Facebook. But what do I know- I'm over 21...

(Or, put another way, I'm in my very, very late teens)
