Microsoft launched their volley into the world of next-gen cellphones yesterday with the KIN - a new smart phone running on their new Windows Mobile platform. It\'s got a full keyboard and a touch screen... not too shabby. I think the KIN One looks like a makeup compact and I can\'t comprehend why someone would want such a form factor for their phone but I suppose that\'s why the KIN Two exists.

Overall, I find it very interesting that Apple, Google and Microsoft are all diving head first into the mobile market with these latest offerings. While I have my own personal preferences I do like seeing what all is being offered by the big players.
