After the death of the Kin, it seems Microsoft hasn’t given up on mobile phones. It seems they’re working on a device called Menlo, which is described in the “User Experiences with Activity-Based Navigation on Mobile Devices,” (PDF) paper that Microsoft has released. In that paper is written:
“Menlo is a prototype mobile device with a capacitive touch screen (4.1” diagonal, 800x480) running Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 which incorporates a Bosch BMA150 3-axis accelerometer and Bosch BMP085 digital pressure sensor (barometer)."
