Sharp Invests in Danger

Danger, a mobile Internet software and services company, has announced that Sharp Corporation has made a strategic investment in the company. Danger will use the funding as part of its ongoing growth efforts.

Sharp has worked with Danger as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) since 2004. Under the partnership between the two companies, Sharp develops devices that are supported by Danger's mobile Internet service. Danger has created a client/server platform that enables an "always-on" connection, continuously synchronizing, backing-up and managing the secure transmission of data between the network and the device.

Danger's award-winning service provides end-users with an optimized Web browsing experience, push e-mail, enhanced instant messaging capabilities and access to a Web-based, online account. The unique device operating system delivers a set of uncompromised applications that operate simultaneously, allowing users to multitask, much like the familiar desktop environment."
