Thread: Microsoft to Discontinue Kin

The corporation said it will stop the planned squash of Kin One and Kin Two phones further than the US, fewer than two months after Verizon Wireless started selling them.
Microsoft revealed the two Kin phones in April, while they were extensively predictable after photos and details emerged on blogs previous year. Microsoft had as well obtained Danger, the corporation after the unique Sidekick messaging phones sold by T-Mobile USA, in 2008.

Kin One is a strange, short little thing, whereas Kin Two looks more similar to a standard cell phone intended for heavy text messaging. Both have touch screens and slide-out keyboards, and were marketed to appeal to a younger crowd that required sharing Web snippets, photos and video with friends. Both have Microsoft's Zune media player software incorporated.
