Kin !Poof


Today is yet another sad day for microsoft, they have taken down yet another one of their phones, the Kin.
which was targeted at teenagers with the main focus on it for socialization.
"While the news today that Microsoft has killed its troubled Kin line didn't come as the craziest of surprises, it's definitely left a lot of lingering questions about just what happened. According to our source, the birth of these devices began with a decision at Microsoft to create a platform agnostic, cloud-centric featurephone. A featurephone that could be had at a relatively low cost, and sold to a burgeoning market of teens and young adults who had little need for a BlackBerry-level device (or pricing). The first step in the project was acquiring Danger to leverage the work it had done with the Sidekick platform, and aligning with Verizon as a launch partner who could offer attractive pricing plans for the devices to a big pool... and here's where the trouble begins. " -engadget  well that pretty much sums everything up. lets just hope microsoft will learn from this experience and improve themselves, come on microsoft, kill the iPhone!
