Microsoft Kills Kin, Ends Rosa’s Travels

kin_one_rosa_microsoft.jpg

Rosa, we hardly knew ya. And, from what we saw in your introductory video, we were hoping to see a lot more of you. Because, well, there is a lot of you. And we really, really wanted to see you travel the country in search of your friends using some device from Microsoft no one’s heard of called the Kin.

Alas, that dream will never come to fruition. Your plug has been pulled. Your Kin commandeered. Your travels halted. We’ll never really know the full extent of your mission to meet your 824 Facebook friends in person. But, and we think you already knew this, most of them aren’t really your friends anyway. So stay at home. And enjoy your true friends and family.

Oh, and one last thing. Go out and buy a real phone. We hear the iPhone4 sucks but you can get a really cheap 3GS.
