Eu cred ca Microsoft s-a grabit in privinta retragerii lui Kin de pe piata. Au vrut rezultate prea rapid. Totusi, asta s-a intamplat, au hotarat ca Microsoft Kin nu va ajunge in Europa si se vor mai vinde doar cele deja fabricate. Vanzarea se va face tot prin intermediul Verizon, doar in Statele Unite.
Mesajul Microsoft:
„We have made the decision to focus exclusively on Windows Phone 7 and we will not ship KIN in Europe this fall as planned. Additionally, we are integrating our KIN team with the Windows Phone 7 team, incorporating valuable ideas and technologies from KIN into future Windows Phone releases. We will continue to work with Verizon in the U.S. to sell current KIN phones.”
Ar fi fost interesant de vazut niste cifre. Cate terminale au vandut, totusi, cei de la Microsoft. Pretul unui Kin One era de 49 $ iar al unui Two de 99 $. Ambele cu un abonament de 50 $ la Verizon.
