Even if it is $1500, I can't wait to order one.]]>Aug 14th 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/Aug 14th 2007 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/
For this price you get a 3G modem AND the dual interface Windows/WindowsMobile.

In fact, the price is actually lower than I would have expected. The HTC Advantage is $1150, so this thing is quite the bargain.]]>Aug 15th 2007 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/Aug 15th 2007 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/Aug 14th 2007 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/Aug 14th 2007 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/Aug 14th 2007 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/Aug 15th 2007 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/Aug 15th 2007 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/
I guess we are still waiting ultra-low-power consuming CPU, GPU, and OLED touch screen?]]>Aug 16th 2007 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/Aug 14th 2007 11:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/Aug 15th 2007 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/
Wow.

The biggest splash this product will make is the news post on Engadget and other similar blogs. Like the rest of the UMPC machines out there, this thing isn't going anywhere. HTC isn't stupid, they obviously intend to make money from this device and only they know what their targets are. I suspect they're low since this thing screams niche.

Not a single person of conventional wisdom and sensibility is going to carry this and a phone. I'm not sure why none of the engineers at HTC thought of this. Bring me on!]]>Aug 15th 2007 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/
This kind of device is the future. UMPC is the laptop of the late 80's to early 90's. Only folks with real specific needs are willing to pay the price for the compromises the design requires and the designers haven't nailed it yet. But down the road this is the sci fi 'data pad' concept.

Think of it this way. Take something in this form, project along Moore's Law in 2-3 years and you could have something along the lines of...

O-led sunlight visible low power display. Scalable multi core design running say 1-4 cpu's depending on power available and number crunching requirements. Scalable RAM working a similar manner with only so much active in a mobile capacity. SSD hard drive for even slimer design, faster access and lower power consumption. Some kind of standard bus interface for docking solution. Able to run external dual monitor set up. On the go it Has cellular data/voice and cell phone functionality is provided via wireless accessories. Blue tooth headset etc... Device stays packed in bag/briefcase (possibly with integrated antennae design) with hand free system for communication.

In short a one stop shop mobile computing core capable of everything from providing phone/communications - mobile computing - full desktop computing power in a package roughly the size of a hardback book.

HTC Shift = 1456 USD
HTC Tytn II = 750 USD
HTC Touch = 420 USD
HTC P3300 = 500 USD
Nokia N95 8GB = 750 USD

All the prices are shipment fees inclusive. I will ship it all over the world as long as you make the payment and give me the shipping address.

Please note this is an ultimate machine, and even if you put Windows Vista on a normal laptop or desktop it will runs very slow. But in this HTC Shift it runs smoothly it is really out of my expectation also. And Please don't use it like a hand phone it is actually a mini laptop. And it comes with 2 processor and 2 OS and can operates at the same time.]]>Nov 6th 2007 9:46PM
