The HTC Shift; A UMPC Runing Windows Vista

“The Shift (codename Shangri-La), is officially announced today. We don’t yet have hard details on release date or price, but we do know it should be available in Q3 (we’d estimate for under $2,000). As for features, we know not to expect anything out of the ordinary (except lots of 3G)…

The specs of the device are

• VIA CPU (the one we tried had a 1.2GHz chip)
• Vista business (yes, it was running Aero)
• 7-inch sliding, tiling wide-touchscreen
• 30GB drive
• Tri-band UMTS / HSDPA, quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE
• WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0
• Biometric reader, front-facing camera”….. <More>
