This has to be ultra mobile PC scoop of the year. Hugo got hold of the HTC shift for a few days and had the chance to test it out and make a video. At last we have some REAL info on the device.
I’m just about to watch the video (that’s downloading painfully slowly!) and the first thing I’ll be looking for is the screen res. Is it 1024×600? ]
Dual CPU eh! Wow. I’m guessing HTC were forced into this position through having to supply a phone-capable device for their carrier partners but there could be other reasons. Battery life. User interface etc. It will certainly give us something to talk about when we discuss the crossover point between smartphones and UMPCs.
Full details over at GottaBeMobile.com.
I’ll be updating the data sheet on the HTC Shift (and will probably have to adapt the database to accommodate a device with two processors!) when I’ve watched the video.
Edit: Its not clear that its 800 or 1024 width screen. Shock: Cellular data only. Why? Soft touch screen. Always good!
