Microsoft Sets Date for Secret Event

April 12 now has an air of intrigue surrounding it, as Microsoft has set a secret event for that date. It probably has something to do with phones, most pundits seem to think, and might even be the unveiling of Microsoft's "Pink" mobile project. It'll have to be a pretty cool event to surpass iPad mania. For reasons we still don't entirely understand, folks lined up all over the U.S. and bought 300,000 iPads on the first day of availability for a device that looks like an iPhone with elephantitis.
