> I've been getting the straight dope from the inside on this. Let me assure
> you, your data IS gone. Currently MS is trying to get the devices to sync the

> It's not a server failure. They were upgrading their SAN, and they outsourced
> it to a Hitachi consulting firm. There was room for a backup of the data on
> the SAN, but they didn't do it (some say they started it but didn't wait for
> it to complete). They upgraded the SAN, screwed it up and lost all the data.
> All the apps in the developer store are gone too.
> This is surely the end of Danger. I only hope it's the end of those involved
> who screwed this up and the MS folks who laid off and drove out anyone at
> Danger who knew what they were doing.
