The Sidekick is probably the last phone a business executive would turn to when they are picking up a new smartphone. However, a recent press release suggests that the Sidekick is getting a bit more business oriented.

For $5 added onto your monthly T-Mobile subscription you will be looking at real time push email along with Exchange support. Yes, the Sidekick LX ‘09 will officially be getting Exchange support thanks to the new Sidekick Sync app.

In addition to Exchange and push email support Sidekick sync will offer you the ability to view attachments and configure sync schedules.

On Monday, Google updated the Android SDK to version 0.9, nearing ever closer to the final 1.0 version.  Android 0.9 includes several changes:

Removal of the Bluetooth API
Removal of the GTalkService protocol
New Home Screen
Alarm Clock, Calculator, Camera, Music player, Picture viewer, and messaging

Keep in mind, this still isn’t the final version of the SDK so when phones running Android finally come out, code produced using the 0.9 SDK might not be recognized by the 1.0 OS.

However, Android developer Dan Morril posted on his blog that the platform is now pretty stable and no major changes are expected when 1.0 comes out.

Developers interested in the Android platform can download the new SDK here.
