Microsoft Cut Production And Sales Kin Phone

 
Maybe this is a little surprising news, articles mobile Kin (One and Two) recently produced by Microsoft but the company finally decided to cancel the launch of two mobile phone.

Maybe now we wonder what is really happening with Microsoft to "kill" two of their new mobile phone that has yet to be launched in bulk. And we have a little glimpse of what really happens in an internal company based in Redmond.

Apparently, the problem has been known long before the rumor phone Pink (Pink Project's name was first heard before the end Microsoft this phone call with the name of Kin). According to our source, this device begins with the birth of Microsoft's decision to create a platform agnostic, feature phone using cloud-centric basis. A feature phone that can be owned by a relatively low cost, and sold to emerging markets is for teens who have little need for a kind of Blackberry device but has a more friendly price.

The first step in this project is through the acquisition of Danger is the company formerly known as the Sidekick cell phone products, and in line with the launch of Verizon as a partner that can offer data packages at attractive prices for the use of the user, so more can optimize the use of such devices but, in fact this is where the problem it begins.

After doing some preliminary work on this phone by using another OS, the operating system that is inherently Danger Sidekick, Andy Lees (Senior Vice President of Microsoft's mobile division) asking everyone to re-solve this phone and rebuild the operating system based on Windows CE. However, it seems that companies do not want any projects not directly related to its Windows kernel. This step is thought to regulate the release of the device back 18 months, during which time the Redmond operator partners became increasingly frustrated with delays.

Apparently when it comes time to actually release a phone Kin to the market, Verizon has come out of the collective agreement which the company initially will provide cheaper prices in accordance with the first tender is approved by both parties.

So that eventually Microsoft does not continue its cooperation with Verizon, this may be an implication of the act of Verizon who do not want to be a partner for launching the Windows Phone 7 which will soon be released by Microsoft.

But wait, there's more other things, the developers of Kin to the project was refocused Phone Windows 7, because such rumors are obtained, that Microsoft is now focusing on developing Windows and Steven Sinofsky Phone 7 as president of the Windows Live Group seeks to bring Windows-based mobile phones in public. WP7 is also a Windows-centric mobile phone-based cloud.

If we look at Microsoft seem to be in big trouble, with a sudden stop Kin phone that makes a little surprised some people. We all hope that the Windows Phone 7 might be more focused on winning user. But in the middle atmosphere of controversy and confusion experienced by Microsoft, we all hope that the company was still able to provide products and services to our best.
