Nix'd of Kin

Microsoft never confirmed (or denied) that only 500 Kins were sold, but regardless, Gizmodo is reporting the project is now dead.

We have made the decision to focus on our Windows Phone 7 launch  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.

Having just seen their ad yesterday on Netflix, I have to add a Nelson, "ha ha" and ponder how much money was burned on this not-so-smart Smart Phone.
