Okay I have to admit, I’m still stuck with a cheap phone that doesn’t do wifi, has a 2-inch screen and it reminds you of something that was launched year 2000. In my search for a new phone I guess the Microsoft Kin comes in to my mind. But what is the Microsoft Kin? How much is it? The Microsoft kin is actually two phones, Kin One and Two, which target a specific market of highly social people. They are supposed to be the ones that are for updating Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. With their QWERTY keyboard they can easily fulfill the needs of those who are still skeptical about the whole touch screen phones and those who still prefer the tactile touch. So along with the need to satisfy a social user, the Kin phones will need to have applications and so there comes along with it, an App store. I do hope that most of the applications will come in free. One thing that’s peculiar though is that Microsoft seemed to have kept the Windows 7 mobile OS and not added it in this phone. I think they have something bigger for later’s show. The interesting thing about this Kin phones is not actually the phone itself but rather the Kin Studio where all your media stuff get uploaded. Yep, Kin Studio makes it possible to have your pictures uploaded instantly and wirelessly to your kin studio. (don’t we just love instant?) So long as I don’t know how much these two Kins are gonna cost and how effective their features are, I’ll just wait till it actually settles in the market. Till then, we’ll see.
