Here are some Bits for a Sidekick 3 Blog
SENSITIVE NUB
"The nub was a little sensitive."
IT WILL HAVE VIDEO
"The device I used did not have video capabilities, but the ones that are going to be released will." (I believe it will play videos made with the camera as well as videos that are stored on the SD card, will confirm that when we can.)

EMAIL
"Email has been updated too. You can have colored text and different fonts and such.
