Surfing Facebook for Kin info? That's
so last year. The cool kids are members of the "
upload generation" -- meaning they wait at
gdgt for Microsoft employees to upload the specs. This week, social marketing director John Starkweather did just that, and now we know that both
Kin One and Kin Two will sport a 600MHz processor and EV-DO Rev. A when they come to market in May, as well as light and proximity sensors. Bluetooth remote and headset profiles are to be had alongside Microsoft Exchange, and there's support for H.264, MPEG-4 and WMV video files. Last and assuredly least, the phones aren't technically
Verizon-exclusive in the US; the
last remaining customers of Alltel will also get their chance to show off
tragic, angst-filled lives.
