Section: Communications , Cellphones , Cellular Providers , Smartphones , Mobile The T-Mobile myTouch 3G may not be the newest Android phone on the market, but sometimes its hard to argue with price. And given T-Mobile has just lowered the myTouch 3G (in black or white) down to the magical price of free its looking pretty good. Of course, this should almost go without saying, but that is free on contract which means a two-year agreement. Otherwise, the myTouch 3G features goodies such as a 3.2 inch HVGA display, 528Mhz Qualcomm processor, 3.2 megapixel camera, 1340 mAh battery and ships with an 8GB microSD card.

Section: Communications , Cellphones , Cellular Providers , Smartphones , Mobile Microsoft first announced the end of the Kin production back on June 30 and scrapped plans for a European launch.? On Sunday, we noticed the Verizon store marked the Kin ONE and Kin TWO as “unavailable at this time.” ? Logically, marking the phone as unavailable meant that the end was nearby for Microsoft’s unsuccessful project.? Today, Verizon Wireless confirmed to Engadget that it had officially ended the sale of the Kin ONE and Kin TWO.? However, for the few Kin owners out there, you’ll be pleased to know Microsoft will continue maintenance and operation for the Kin.?

Palm’s brain drain continues as it loses another executive to a major competitor. Mike Bell, most recently senior vice president for Product Development at Palm, has moved on to a similar role at Intel’s Ultra Mobility Group as Director of Smartphone Product Development, Engadget reports . In an internal email, Intel said that Bell “will help build and lead a team to build breakthrough smartphone reference designs to accelerate Intel Architecture into the market.” Bell was a “good get” for Palm. In 2007, the company managed to lure him away from Apple, where he spent 16 years working on a variety of projects including the iMac, Apple TV, and iPhone. His defection from Apple reportedly led to “screaming matches and threats of lawsuits” from Apple, according to Valleywag . It apparently infuriated Apple CEO Steve Jobs to such a degree that Palm didn’t dare to announce his hiring publicly.
