Review: Microsoft Kin One and Two

Calls/Contacts Menus Messaging Kin Studio  

Perhaps the coolest aspect of Kin is the web site associated with the phones and what users choose to share. The Studio is an online repository where users can safely keep a backup of all their content, including calls, text messages, emails, contacts, photos, and more. The neatest feature of the studio is the timeline, which lets users jump to any day, week or month in the past to see what they shared and where they shared it. Neat!

Say you want to go back and see what you experienced on May 5. Use the timeline tool to zoom back to that day, and Kin Studio automatically shows users everything they did with their phone on that day. That includes what calls they made/received, messages they sent/received, photos they uploaded (complete with location), and any of the content they shared through their phone.

Data is always being uploaded in the background automatically, so users always have access to a full back-up of their device and settings should they lose or break their device.

This is how all online backup systems should work. Seriously, Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, webOS, are you listening? It really is cool.

Here's a video of how it works:
