Microsoft has decided to kill off the Kin, two Microsoft-branded phones targeted at teenager users, we have confirmed.
The Kin, formerly known as "Project Pink," was revealed in April and lauched on the Verizon network in May. However, ominous signs emerged for the phone's demise after Microsoft cut the price of the Kin in half.
However, it doesn't look like it was enough — the Kin until will be folded into the Windows Phone 7 team after abysmal sales and millions of dollars lost in R&D and marketing.
Here is Microsoft's official statement on the Kin:
"Microsoft has made the decision to focus on the Windows Phone 7 launch and 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."
While the Kin isn't going away completely, it's clear that the Kin has not met expectations and Microsoft is shifting resources elsewhere.
NEW YORK – Apple Inc. said Monday that it sold more than 1.7 million units of its new iPhone model in the first three days, making it the most successful product launch in the company's history from the standpoint of sales.
The iPhone 4 went on sale Thursday in the U.S., Britain, France, Germany and Japan. High demand for the model caused shortages and unruly crowds at some stores.
"This is the most successful product launch in Apple's history," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Even so, we apologize to those customers who were turned away because we did not have enough supply."
Some stores sold out within hours. Analysts have said Apple is having a hard time procuring enough parts for the phone, such as its new higher-resolution screen. Apple has said the white iPhone it plans to produce has been more challenging than expected and won't be available until late July. Only black models went on sale Thursday.
Apple sold more than 1 million units in the first three days when it launched last year's model, the 3GS. Canada, Italy, Spain and Switzerland were then among the launch countries, but Japan was not.
Apart from the sharper screen, the iPhone 4 features a slimmer body and faster processor than the previous model, among other changes.
Shares of the Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple rose $1.60, or 0.6 percent, to $268.30 in trading Monday
