well... I guess "long live Windows Phone 7" it is!

It surprised me that Microsoft killed the KIN last week, not because it was an awesome product, but because they took such little time between launch and cancellation (and apparently they sunk a quarter million dollars in ads).  I guess we won't be finding out if what's-her-name has real friends on the road trip she is going on or if they are all just facebook friends LOL (see ad below)

Engadget has a blow-by-blow account of what went on with the KIN. It's an interesting read if you've got the time and have not read it yet.  What I find really interesting is that someone decided to buy Danger (aka sidekick maker) and NOT blend the best of the HipTop with Windows Mobile to create something new and exciting.  Instead they opted to go and make the KIN which was priced way too high for the market it was aiming for.

It seems to me that microsoft is in need of some organizational management.
