Microsoft just held their event and they've obviously announced their Project Pink - finally. Let's just get right down to it, since I'm already behind after taking a nap. The "Turtle" became official as the Kin One and it'll feature a QVGA display, 4GB of internal storage, a 5MP camera with an LED flash, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The "Pure" became official as the Kin Two and it's the higher-end of the two handsets. It features an HVGA display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, an 8MP camera, and 8GB of internal storage.
They both feature WiFi / Bluetooth support, 3G connectivity, and a "desktop web experience" which is based on Silverlight. Engadget likes the way it works, so it must be pretty good. The UI is similar to the Windows Phone 7 Metro look, with heavy social integration.
Verizon will be launching the Kin One and Two this May, while Vodafone will be launching it in Europe this Fall. Prices weren't mentioned. Check out Engadget's hands-on here.
Update: According to Engadget, there's no microSD card slot on either of these handsets. So much for those SanDisk microSDs.

Two more great phones by the software giant. I think while the phones that are develop now-a-days are all great, the difference between being great and winning over customers are the additional features like apps, being able to connect them to your car, etc. and in my opinion, Apple is still way ahead of the pack.

I think Android phones are getting extremely close to the iPhone. They're close to closing the gap, but iPhone OS 4.0 looks pretty good right now. WinPho 7 has a chance as well - in a couple of years.
