The KIN has been gone for some time now, and Verizon is working to get rid of it's stock of the devices. However, it is now being reported that the KIN is still receiving updates (quote):

• The KIN Loop now shows pictures from picture links directly in the shell without having to open the browser. They also show up in the Online panorama of the Pictures/Camera app. I’ve seen this work for Twitpic, TweetPhoto and yfrog so far, not sure about other picture-sharing sites (though these are the most popular ones). What’s nice about this is that the picture displays full screen with pinch-to-zoom. Uploading your KIN pictures to Twitter via these sites, however, is still missing.
• Some Twitter replies now show up on a tweet when you select it: If you select a tweet from someone you follow, and someone else you follow replies to that tweet, that reply will show up in the Comments feed. Interestingly, however, replies from people you don’t follow will not show up. And replying or retweeting tweets yourself is still missing.

This is good news, as the 10,000+ customers would probably become extremely dissatisfied if Microsoft left them in the dark. Maybe there is a big update coming soon after all...
