anyweb Posted April 11, 2010 Report post Posted April 11, 2010 With Microsoft and Verizon set to finally reveal the outcome of Project Pink on Monday, here we give you a preview of what to expect and try and explain just what this mysterious project is, and why it might have failed before it even launches... Back in February 2008, Microsoft agreed to acquire Danger for an estimated $500 million. Danger manufactured the Danger Hiptop smartphone, also known as the T-Mobile Sidekick - a device with a young user base and many features centred around social interactions, things which Microsoft's Windows Mobile offerings seemed to be lacking. ..... Project Pink seems to have been plagued with problems from day one, some of which could eventually lead to its downfall. On Monday we should finally see whether these have been ironed out and Microsoft have managed to produce the youth-friendly social phone that they set out to do, and whether it is at a high enough standard to do well with customers and provide Microsoft with their first real fightback in the consumer phone market. full story > http://www.neowin.net/news/what-is-microsoft039s-pink-and-is-it-destined-to-fail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
