Kin from Microsoft, part of the family?
I’m really curious what people think of Kin, the new phone from Microsoft that’s endorsed by Windows Phone + Sharp+ Verizon. Microsoft has been struggling in the mobile space for many years now. But there’s been recent great news. The announcement at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Feb that MS would come out with a new, long-awaited Windows Phone 7 was well received and phone very well reviewed. But in advance of this new promising phone, here comes the Kin. Clearly Kin is targeted for the younger segment with a mind toward power texting. But it’s not everything the Windows Phone 7 is anticipated to be. So it makes sense that it’s not branded fully as a Windows Phone– as doing this could deposition the promise of Windows Phone 7. So did Microsoft get it right? http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/KIN/Default.aspx
