Steve Ballmer: Kin ‘defocused activity from Windows Phone’

Posted in: Microsoft, steve ballmer, Today's Chili

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has been willing to admit some of the company’s missteps in the past, and he’s just done so again in addressing the now infamous Kin. Speaking with The Seattle Times, Ballmer said that the “No. 1 message from Kin is a message of focus,” and that ultimately, “it just defocused activity from Windows Phone.” Not exactly a huge surprise by any means, but it’s still pretty notable to hear straight from the top, especially considering how much it cost Microsoft to learn that message. As for the rest of the interview, Ballmer didn’t make a ton of news, but he did say that we’ll be seeing additional Windows 7 tablet form factors starting this Christmas, and he revealed that he does in fact have a Facebook page, but he won’t say which of the many Steve Ballmer pages is the real one. Hit up the source link below to read the whole thing.

AT&T welcoming BlackBerry Curve 3G and Pearl 3G to the fold later this year

Posted in: att, BlackBerry, RIM, Today's Chili

RIM products tend to have ultra-predictable launch cycles — when Waterloo announces a new BlackBerry, odds are pretty great that your carrier’s going to pick it up at some point, no matter what carrier that may be. So it goes with the Curve 3G and Pearl 3G; neither product is new, of course, but they’re new to AT&T, which has just revealed that it’ll be getting both this year. The Pearl seems like it’ll probably be coming first, launching on October 17 for $149.99 on contract (in its 20-key flavor) with no rebate required; the Curve, meanwhile, slips in on a to-be-determined date “in time for the holidays” for $99.99 on contract, also sans rebate. Though no mention is made of upgradeability on the Pearl, the Curve is called out as being BlackBerry 6-ready — RIM needs carrier buy-in to deploy these upgrades, so the fact that AT&T is saying it is notable. The Pearl’s price seems way out of whack, but needless to say, we’re sure some of the third-party resellers will be getting ’em out the door for a penny on contract within a few weeks. Follow the break for the press release.
