As you may already know, Microsoft quit shipping the Kin Series couple of weeks ago in an official announcement, this made many people wondering what really prompted Microsoft from plan such a quick decision during this short of product release of its product, that's not Microsoft, it's unusually for them to give up so fast. Even the not-so good selling Zune music device is still on the stock shelves.

well according to the new blog site MobileCrunch, Microsoft had sold merely 8,800 units since its release date, at a no-contract price of $329, it works out to be $2.8 million (I trust their numbers). This barely covers the heavily advertisement dollars that microsoft had put it for the launch as well as press conferences it thrown.

In my personal opinion, I think Microsoft did the right thing because there's no way in heaven that the Kin will be anywhere nearly as popular as say the Motorola Droid. Please feel free to share your view?
