We warned you they would be back – and look who just swaggered into town today, as if they never even got killed off by Microsoft. Should’ve picked better aliases, though – Kin ONEm and Kin TWOm is just plain weird.
Two years on from taking over Old Billy Gates’s role, and Steve Ballmer’s not doing too badly. WP7 has got people excited, and Windows 7 is actually being used. Yet, he got half the usual bonus last year.
Apparently the Microsoft Kin has received a little Twitter update, but it’s still not perfect:
Just six weeks after launch, Microsoft’s Kin phone, the social phone we wanted to love, is dead. Microsoft is ending its short life, sources close to Microsoft tell us.
Microsoft had told us that the Kin and Windows Phone 7 platforms would grow closer in the future, and under heat for the Kin’s lack of, well, features, they’ve said it again. Microsoft’s phone strategy is weird.
