I can’t vouch for the following, but a well-placed little birdie told me over the weekend that they sold a grand total of 503 Kins before they pulled the plug. 503.
Daring Fireball Linked List: Microsoft’s Kin Humiliation
This 500 kin sales number has been thrown around a lot lately, which was hard for me to believe. So I did some quick looking, to see if I could prove differently. eBay had only 9 on sale so that was no help, but then I came across this article on pocketnow…
“What I find interesting is that the KIN registers its Facebook app on Facebook, where anybody can actually see the total number of monthly active users of the application. The KIN Facebook app is only available on KIN devices and can only be used by people who have KIN devices.”
…so there you have it, at last check there are 8,810 active users. Still kinda sad though.
