While its probably targeted more towards your younger teenage brother, something tells us that us gay guys will find something alluring about the new Microsoft’s Kin and its social media uses. The phone uses a unique interface that integrates all your favorite social media services while also making it easy to share information. The phone also features built-in Zune software for access to all your music, movies, games, and the Zune marketplace. Kin will be available in two models: The compact Kin One (above) which features a 5 megapixel camera and 4GBs of storage and the Kin Two which has a wider screen, 8 megapixel camera capable of HD Video, and 8GBs of storage.

Zune HD always mystified us…not for its design or its features, but more so because no one ever thought of taking this little device and stuffing it with phone capabilities. But it looks that as of Christmas time 2010 we’ll have just that with Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Series.

The phone also takes on the full Zune music player experience and they’ve even thrown in a mobile version of Office for editing and sharing documents.... Read more

As computer technology becomes more mobile, the same applies to its accessories…like a mouse. The problem is that a mobile mouse often needs to perform in less-than-hospitable circumstances and on surfaces other than a mousepad. We’ve even used our laps with not much luck (besides, it looks funny). BlueTrack technology is Microsoft’s panacea, which aims to improve mouse response beyond the existing laser and optical methods.... Read more
