Hasta La Gadget!

If you’ve managed to pull your eyes away from our no-holds-barred liveblog of Microsoft’s Kin announcement, you might’ve noticed that there are videos up on the official Kin site depicting the UI in all its hipster-lite, storytelling glory. Still, in case you’re not a 20 something living in Brooklyn on your parents’ money while pursuing a career in the arts, we’ve turned those motion video picture things into regular stills for your staid perusal. We even added little descriptors below the galleries, which due to your acute lack of ADD you might even find time to read. We upped the videos after the break as well, just in case you wanted to try your hand at the young-and-hip life.

Kin Spot is a little hot spot at the bottom of the screen almost akin the virtual “binding” in Courier. You can drag pictures, addresses, web pages, and other media into it, and then drag the faces of friends who you want to send the stack of stuff to. Once you tap the spot you can preview your message, add some text, and choose from MMS or email to send it out.

Haven’t had enough? Check out our hands-on and the official announce post! Videos and the rest of the features are after the break.
