    Kin reviews are out… and not so good.

    Posted on May 5, 2010 | No Comments
    You've probably noticed on the 'webz today that the floodgates known as "the Kin review embargo" have opened, spewing forth impressions, opinions, analysis, and reviews for the masses to bathe in. There is a general trend emerging, too. Something along the lines of "What have Microsoft done?" I've rounded up some of the highlights thus far, for your reading pleasure:

A completely revamped version of the Facebook application has just gone live in the Palm App Catalog - and boy, is it an improvement. Palm has offered some level of Facebook support on webOS since the launch of the Pixi - but as we noted in our Pixi review, calling what it had "Facebook support" was probably exaggerating.

Our Chumby One came pre-installed with a few widgets including our own news feed and Twitter, which lets you view your Tweets whenever the widget rolls around. I'm going to place this thing on my desk and treat it like a third screen in order to really test the value of this wee fellow. More soon.
