RIP Microsoft Kin

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.

RIP Microsoft Kin.
