MySpace phone?

myspace phoneBecause it's not enough to be addicted to MySpace on your computer, a company called Helio is talking about offering MySpace phones. Providers will sell the phones to users, who will then be able to read and post wherever they go. No word on whether or not the phone will strip out crappy HTML and CSS, eye-scalding animated GIF's, or confusing background/text combos. I look forward to squinting on one... Details are pretty scarce, but it's just another sign of the impending MySpace apocolypse. Actually BetaNews has what little I've read, and they mention phones named "Hero" and "Kickflip." Helio's website shows a Sidekick-esque phone, and I'd assume you'll be able to post pics too? Huzzah. The PDF press release from Helio is here. Beauty pics of the phones on Engadget Mobile.

UPDATE: Internetnews has some more details, including the tip that Myspace info will be specially tweaked to appear on the phones. So I guess that means stripping out some stuff, but what, and what about hacks?
