Bwap-wapm-waaaaaaahmmmmp~

The Kin sounded a little fishy to me from the start, who needs a social-networking phone anyway? Or a better question, what is a social-networking phone?

Why is it that every time MS tries to be "hip" or "cool" or "in-with-the-scene" they flop miserably? Oh yeah, because anyone self-conscious enough to want to be "hip" or "cool" or "in-with-the-scene" is ALREADY ON THE APPLE BANDWAGON. Microsoft should stick to what they do best, monopolizing the computer industry and leave the gadget-making up to companies that actually know what they're doing.
