The Daily Engadget: Sidekick Class Action Lawsuits Begin, and the First Electric Motorcycle Recall
Our friends over at Engadget obsessively cover everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics, which is why we compile this daily roundup of their top stuff (or, at least, what we think is tops). For more details on any of these stories, click on the Engadget links in each story below.

Sidekick Class Action Lawsuit Begins
Microsoft, Danger, and T-Mobile are now saying that they can recover nearly all of the Sidekick data that the companies had earlier identified as lost. That's great and all, you three, but you surely didn't think you'd be able to get out of this mess without a lawsuit.

Microsoft Store Opening on October 22nd
Apple Stores are hip, cool places where you can hang out and talk with your fellow Mac zealots. What will Microsoft stores be like? We'll find out next week.

Free iPhone Apps Can Now Up-Sell
If you've been wishing that more iPhone apps would offer free demos, you're about to get your wish. Apple has decreed that apps are now allowed to up-sell customers from within the demo version, meaning more free demos, ahoy!

ZPrinter 350 Prints in 3-D, Recycles Own Waste
3-D printers aren't exactly mainstream yet, but they're getting closer. The ZPrinter 350 is the latest, costing a whopping $25,900, but creating amazing objects out of thin air.

Robotic Mood Tail Is Wii-Powered
On a particularly cute day, at least one of you dog lovers has beholden a cute little dog's wagging tail, and jealously thought to yourself, "Gee, what wouldn't I give to express myself so gleefully? To be so cute?" Well, lucky for you, this "mood tail" can do exactly that -- while thoroughly creeping out your friends.

Zero Motorcycles Get Recalled
Motorcycles should be able to go quickly when the grip is twisted, but they should also slow down when it's released. Some of Zero Motorcycles' offerings apparently aren't doing that last bit too well.
