[intlink id=”803773″ type=”post”]Microsoft[/intlink] unveiled two new smart phones Monday, designed for the new generation of heavy social networking users.
Called the KIN ONE and the KIN TWO, the phones feature many of the standard offerings of smart phones currently on the market: touch screens, slide-out keyboards, Web browsers with pinch-to-zoom, and applications for download. Where the phones differ from traditional smart phones is in the integration with social networks.
Instead of a slew of application-launching buttons, the phones’ home screens house the combined feeds from the user’s social networks like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. The new phones also have a green “spot” on the main screen where users can drag photos, Web links and social network messages into and then share with friends.
