Time to learn a new name – Kin

Posted: april 12th, 2010 | Author: Björn Axell | Filed under: Kin, Windows Mobile | No Comments »

Today Microsoft announced the “Kin” phone. I’m not sure what to think yet, still to many questions unanswered:

  • How compatible is it with a upcoming Windows 7 Phones application store?
  • Does it have push mail? I think I heard them talking about contact from Exchange on the webcast but ’m not sure
  • Will it be sold outside US? If yes, will I be able to bye it in Sweden and from what operator?
  • I really like the “Kin Studio”-  will this be the new version of the Windows live “My Phone” service and will it be available for all Windows Mobile phones?
  • Is there any limits on “Kin Studio” or can I upload unlimited amount of data? If not, what will it cost to expand it?
