Microsoft Project Pink Comes Alive; Kin One, Kin Two Announced

From DailyTech: Microsoft today unveiled its "Project Pink" phones which are aimed at the growing social networking scene. The new phones are now known as the Kin One and the Kin Two.

With more people becoming more addicted to social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter, it's only natural that Microsoft would want in on a piece of the action with a mobile device specifically targeting the sector.

The new phones are geared more towards a younger audience; specifically teens and young adults. Microsoft calls these “young folk” that want to keep in contact with their acquaintances, celebrities they follow on Twitter, and really close friends "sociologists".

"Windows Phone 7 is about simplifying your life," said Robbie Bach. "Windows [Kin] is about amplifying your life."

The new Kin phones are based on a Windows CE core, sharing similar design themes, but not the full-fledged general purpose operating system capabilities of the upcoming Windows Phone 7 smartphone operating system.
