CNET News.com has an article on Danger’s Hiptop, a combination of cell phone and Web-browsing handheld. According to the article, the company had hoped to have the device in the hands of consumers by the beginning of this month, but it’s unlikely to be widely available until next month. The article says that initially, BlackBerry maker Research In Motion should not feel much of a threat from Danger, but the device’s arrival could pose problems for Palm, which gets much of its business from consumers. Palm has said it will offer a handheld later this year that can make phone calls using an earpiece.
