Microsoft has agreed to buy software firm Danger Inc, maker of T-Mobile's SideKick web phone.

The gadget, also known as the Hiptop, has been popularised by a number of American celebrities, including socialite Paris Hilton.

Danger was co-founded in 1999 by Andy Rubin, Joe Britt and Matt Hershenson. Mr Rubin has moved on to a new job running Google's mobile venture.

Microsoft did not disclose the purchase price as it made the announcement.
