It’s here, and it’s finally official. Microsoft recently announced two Windows Phone devices called Kin I and Kin II, the outcome of the highly rumored Microsoft Project Pink.
They both feature Windows Phone OS, but differ in hardware specs. Kin II it’s the biggest, featuring 8Gb memory, 8Mp camera that records 720p video, while KIN I has a smaller form factor and features a 5Mp camera with full VGA Video. It’s been said that battery life will last an entire weekend. But this is still subject of testing, you know how marketing works, right?
The new OS is very much social oriented. It’s main screen, called Loop shows all your contacts strictly organized and somewhat optimized from a User Experience point of view. Personally, It won’t do much to me, since I use my personal devices in a more professional level, but it’s great for social usage scenarios.
Other than this, it seems sharp will be the device manufacturer for the 1st round, and both devices will be available in
Vodafone Spain, Italy, Germany and Uk.
