Don’t you love leaked information on yet to be released devices?
This linked PDF of HTC’s new lineup reveals a ton of info about the Shift UMPC.
Codenamed “Shangri-La” (Model number X9500) this one will run on Intel’s 800mhz processor and have 1GB of Ram as well as 30 or 40GB of HDD depending on the model.
What the big news is, it will run both Windows Vista and Windows Mobile 6 Professional! This will allow for instant on in HTC’s newest device, which is starting to look a lot like the cPC that was never released… It will include 128mb of ROM and 64mb of RAM for WM6.
Another positive aspect is that along with the built in GPS, there is a VGA cam, MiniSD slot and a Fingerprint reader. Bluetooth and WiFi are also standard. Now the disappointing things: the screen is only 800×480 and the built in radio is only EDGE capable [EDIT: That Qualcomm chip is fully capable of HSUPA and HSDPA!]. Stay tuned for more info – it will leak out sooner or later.
[EDIT: Note that this is unconfirmed info, but since the details on the other devices appear to be correct this one looks quite legitimate.]
