I have some personal connections inside the Kin development team... so, I might have some insight that others may not. Kin (for me) is NOT as cool as an iPhone... but, I am not the target market for the Kin. The Kin is targeted towards teens and young adults.... same as the Sidekick (which Danger created).
It's VERY social media-centric... The thing that doesn't make it as cool as the iPhone for me? The Kin is pretty well locked down. There is no app store since you can't add apps to it... so you have to wait for Microsoft to implement stuff.Now... this might (probably!) change in the future... but I still like my iPhone.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
