The Curious Thing About Microsoft Kin
The Kin, unveiled by Microsoft on Monday, is billed as a mobile phone for the "social generation." It's meant to appeal to the younger, always-connected crowd -- teens and 20-somethings who spend their days surfing social networks -- and yet the Kin's social network support is decidedly unrobust.Let me explain.
Microsoft Kin: Always Connected, Some of the TimeMuch has been made over what Microsoft's Kin phone is missing : There are no apps, there's no Flash, and there are no games. And all of that is a bit baffling. But there are other features even more core to the social networking experience that are even more conspicuously absent.
The most glaring thing missing from the always-connected phone is, quite simply, the ability to remain always-connected. In his introduction of the Kin, Microsoft Entertainment and Devices President Robbie Bach described the device as a "mobile experience just for this social generation -- a phone that makes it easy to share your life moment to moment."
