Microsoft has released two new Windows Phone 7 commercials | 9 to 5 Mac Microsoft releases two new Windows Phone 7 commercials, both aimed at the "save yourself from your phone" PoV. Fairly good, and they're hitting on the high points of the Windows 7 Phone, the fact that the start screen is good. Honestly that's the one point that I would love to have on the iPhone, the whole "live updating start screen with actual useful information" thing is pretty sweet.

This morning Microsoft Introduced KIN, a New Windows Phone from Microsoft. This used to be "Pink" if you had heard about that before. If you want ann annoying, auto-playing, loud, marketing-heavy and content-lite page, you can check out Kin.com. About the only view you get of the phone without having to sit through an annoying, loud, marketing-heavy and content-lite video is clicking on the Kin One and Kin Two links in the left sidebar.

Note to Microsoft and marketers. Sometimes people want to know WTF something is about, not see random vignettes of pretty people dancing at clubs and having fun while they happen to have your product in their hands. Seriously, if you thought that "welcome to the social" was kinda lame, you'll have a ball with this one.

Gizmodo has the First Details of Microsoft's Secret Tablet - Courier tablet. This is of course not a real device, and it has a lot of things that could be potentially be amazingly awesome, if it emerges and acts and looks anything like the concept video.

Of course, it looks awesome and the video shows it working perfectly for that example, but remember how the demos for tablet computers and the UMPCs that MS was all about a couple of years ago looked, awesome, yet that buzz kinda died. If they can pull it off though, and if it works in real life as well as it does for the very narrow use case in the video, hell, I'm all over it :)

Daring Fireball points over to engadget's story about how the Zune HD is available on September 15. I have to say that the hardware does look pretty sexy. It's not going to replace my iPhone or iPod Touch, but I'd love to get my paws on one to see how it feels and acts. Anyone at Microsoft want a chance to convert me by sending me a review unit? :)
