I found out about a very nice theme called iAwesome thanks to AIS so I wanted to share it with you. iAwesome is a WinterBoard theme that contains 304 redesigned icons (though all icons are modded… more to come on that), wallpaper, status bar, lock screen wallpaper, lock screen battery, badges, pop-ups and quite a few UI mods. The nice thing about this theme is that it contains an icon overlay which means that all icons are modded… not just icons that have been designed for the theme

Get ready all you social networking fanatics because Microsoft ( NSDQ: MSFT )’s Kin phones will be available for Verizon ( NYSE: VZ ) Wireless customers online May 6 for pretty good prices. This launch window is in line with what we’ve heard before, but the Kin One will only cost about $50 after rebate and with a new two-year contract.
See the original post:
Microsoft’s Kin One and Kin Two launching May 6
Microsoft’s KIN lineup of consumer oriented not-so-smartphones has just gone official. Since Microsoft ( NSDQ: MSFT ) unveiled the KIN phones last month, the company has been mostly quiet about their consumer-friendly, social network-savvy slider phones. But, that didn’t stop us from getting our hands on our very own Kin Two! While Marin drops some knowledge about the more compact Kin One , I’ll be taking you on a brief hardware tour of the Kin Two.
Excerpt from:
Video: Microsoft KIN TWO unboxing and initial impressions
We have Microsoft ( NSDQ: MSFT )’s Kin devices in the house! I’ve been fondling the oddly -shaped Kin One (or the Kin1 , if you prefer) and we decided to do unboxing and setup videos. The social networking handset comes in a pipe-bomb-like tube and inside is the standard instruction manual, USB cable, charging port, headphones and the handset itself. The Kin One has a distinctly unique design – it’s a rounded vertical slider that kind of looks like a Pre but is much, much smaller at 3.25″ x 2.5″ x .75″

The widget is summoned with a swipe to the left. It’s a slightly different implementation than the old popup player, but a nice change of pace
