Microsoft Kin Terminated. Sidekick Discontinued. Windows Phone 7 Should be Next. Keep Windows Mobile
There’s been a lot of handwringing about the short-lived Microsoft Kin semi-smartphone (ONE & TWO – named after Dr. Seuss characters?) and, just yesterday, the Sidekick. Both are the products of the company formerly known as “Danger” which Microsoft bought in February 2008.

Microsoft’s purchase of Danger didn’t make sense to me in 2008 and it still doesn’t make sense to me.
