Microsoft launches social phone: Kin1 & Kin2

Microsoft has finally unveiled its project 'pink'; that says 'Its time to share'. The company has launched its new social phone called Kin. The phone comes in two versions, Kin1 and Kin2 with the later being advanced version of the family.

Kin is NOT a Windows7 based phone. Microsoft says they came up with idea of Kin while working on Window7 operating system for mobile devices.

The Kin family phones are social. That means they bring social networking at the core of its operations. The home screen also shows the RSS feeds from the social networking sites you are subscribed to. If you take a picture and not delete it, the KIN phone will sync it with the files on cloud.

Its very easy to access social networking sites from Kin. Kin2 is said to be able to shoot in 720p.

Microsoft has also built Kin studio to make it easier to access files, photos and videos on the web; without need to download them to view.

The phone is set to hit the markets in May 2010.
