With all of the Sidekicks you see all over the place, you'd think that Sidekick maker Danger, Inc. would be rolling in money, right?  Nope.  Apparently they're $7 million or so in the hole after reporting $28 million in net losses for the fiscal year ending this past Sept. 30.  While that sounds like a giant loss, it's actually not atypical for a large startup that's been relying mainly on private funding.

So Danger has said they're going to pursue an initial public offering and Reuters is reporting they're hoping to raise $100 million.  The money would be used to pay off debt and serve as working capital for the company that enables data and Internet services for T-Mobile USA's armada of Sidekick devices.  The devices themselves are made by Sharp and Motorola.

Danger also generates revenue from "Hiptop" branded handsets and services available in Europe and Australia.
