Cisco is making a machine for businesses and schools. This may come as a shock but tablets have been in use in schools for a few years now though they were fairly limited in what they could do.

Engadget on the death of the Kin:
“It seems that after doing some initial work on these phones based around Danger’s proprietary Sidekick OS, Andy Lees — the SVP of Microsoft’s mobile division — instructed everyone to go back to the drawing board and rebuild the OS based on Windows CE. It appears the company didn’t want a project that wasn’t directly connected to its Windows kernel. This move allegedly set the release of the devices back 18 months, during which time Redmond’s carrier partner became increasingly frustrated with the delays”
It really was a ‘kin useless phone!
