Solve : Microsoft pulls Kinphone? |
|
Answer» Microsoft pulls the plug on Kin after just a few weeks Mike Luttrell | Wed 30th Jun 2010Microsoft *REALLY* needs to hire some people that know what they're doing for their mobile platform team. Amazing how fast they're pulling this. Guess we'll see if they've learned anything With the Windows 7 phone.Wow, I only managed to see 1 commercial for these and already they're being pulled?To be honest I've never heard of it.Quote from: kpac on July 01, 2010, 11:24:24 AM To be honest I've never heard of it. Wow, me neither. I thought Microsoft didn't do phones.they should have given it a better name, like Zune-a-ma-phone, or ZunePhone, or Microsoft Phone 2010 or something.Quote from: BC_Programmer on July 01, 2010, 01:00:59 PM they should have given it a better name, like Zune-a-ma-phone, or ZunePhone, or Microsoft Phone 2010 or something. Good point.....Heh Zune-a-ma-phone classic. I'm also not really that fond of the whole "Microsoft phone 7" either it's also confusing, I just noticed I even got confused with calling it "Windows 7 phone" above. Once again I have to give Apple some credit in the naming department, yes it's kind of cheesy naming EVERYTHING with "i" in the front but it is a lot more simple than Microsoft's naming scheme although hate that they're taking over other named products. Like iOS. Microsoft needs a KISS employee who takes everything and tries to simplify it as much as possible, get the engineers out of the equation. In the end it is probably in Microsoft's best interest to just focus on the Windows 7 phone and I must admit it's looking like a great setup, but at the pace they're going they may have lost any potential of GETTING anywhere in the mobile market with all the strong competitors now. Unless they create something no one can live without and have it on all the major networks. For those who haven't already seen the demos of Windowsphone7 this definitely worth checking out. http://www.windowsphone7.com/Quote from: kpac on July 01, 2010, 11:24:24 AM To be honest I've never heard of it. Me neither. I KNEW MS did some phone software, but I never heard of this one.PC World has just done a story on this: What Does Kin's Fate Say for Windows Phone 7?Well although it's pretty pathetic that they dropped the Kin this fan it does potentially show that Microsoft is more focused on the Windows Phone 7. This could potentially be a good thing as it will allow Microsoft to focus on just one main product and not have Phone 7 with the dead horse Kin. |
