If you've got an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/htc-shift-gets-hands-on/">HTC Shift</a> sitting around that's collecting dust and not doing much else, it could find a new lease on life with the revelation of its (very unofficial) support for Windows 8. Like they did for Mac OS X <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/26/mac-os-x-leopard-installed-on-htc-shift-just-a-wifi-shy-of-awes/">previously</a>, the folks at <em>xda-developers</em> have shoehorned Microsoft's latest <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/16/windows-8-on-a-laptop-in-depth-preview-video/">Developer Preview OS</a> onto the dejected UMPC, and so long as you've got a bit of spare time, the right equipment and are good at following instructions, you can too. All the basic driver support appears to be in order, including support for video acceleration, the touchscreen and WiFi. Granted, you should keep in mind you'll be installing pre-release software on unsupported hardware, but isn't that half the fun? There's a video after the break (heads-up: it's in French), and if you're looking to get started right away, you'll find a full list of instructions in the source below.<br />

Thanks to dedicated code junkies over at <i>xda developers</i>, HTC's ill-fated <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/htc-shift-gets-hands-on/">Shift</a> is getting a new lease on life by proving its ability to run OS X 10.5.6. Sadly, it looks as if an upgrade to Snow Leopard is out of the question due to some file changes between 10.5 and 10.6, but the biggest killer is the current build's inability to provide WiFi and Bluetooth support. The instructions to follow suit are right there in the source link, but good luck making good use of this without cordless access to the world wide web.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/26/mac-os-x-leopard-installed-on-htc-shift-just-a-wifi-shy-of-awes/">Mac OS X Leopard installed on HTC Shift, just a WiFi shy of awesomeness</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 26 Sep 2010 10:05:00 EST.

<div align="left">It's been hit with a few <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/htc-shift-slightly-delayed-hits-the-states-in-a-month/">snags</a> along the way, but it looks like the HTC Shift's slow roll out around the word is finally nearing a close, with it now making its expected debut at the FCC. In addition to putting it through all the usual tests, they of course also ripped the thing apart and, thankfully, provided of pictures of the process (hit up the link below for more). Prospective Shift buyers can also take advantage of the FCC's generosity to check out the device's user manual, although there aren't exactly many surprises to be found, considering <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/htc-shift-the-cellphone-company-finally-goes-umpc/">how long</a> this thing's been around already.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/2008/01/htc-shift-umpc-dissected_15.html">jkkmobile</a>]<br /></div>

HTC hasn't been terribly forthcoming about this, since its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/htcs-shift-with-hsdpa-and-snapvue-gets-a-ship-date/">"official" launch date</a> for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Shift/">Shift</a> -- at least in Europe -- was November, but we gave them a ring today and they say the UMPC should be shipping in Europe and Asia in about a week, and Stateside in about a month. Nice and vague, just like we like 'em. And sticking with that "shifting" motif, Dynamism currently has the pre-order price for a Shift import pegged at $1599, a whole <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/14/htc-shift-gets-a-price-1500-on-dynamism/">$99 more</a> than it read in August.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/htc-shift-slightly-delayed-hits-the-states-in-a-month/">HTC Shift slightly delayed, hits the States in a month</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:06:00 EST.

If you can bear to watch the walkthrough video, <em>GottaBeMobile</em> has a hands-on with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/htc-shift-the-cellphone-company-finally-goes-umpc/">HTC Shift</a>, the first UMPC from the traditionally cellphone only company. It appears as if <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/HTC/">HTC</a> has a winner on its hands with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Shift/">Shift</a>, as the reviewer seems completely smitten with the device: HTC has definitely nailed the "feel" of the device in terms of balance and finish. The Pocket PC mode seems to be pretty great too: the extra battery life is welcome, and as the reviewer demonstrates, it's very easy to switch between the two modes. <em>"I'm in Vista Business, I'm back in Pocket PC. I'm back in Vista, I'm back in ... "</em> Check it out at 30:35 in the video after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/htc-shift-gets-hands-on/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>HTC Shift gets hands on</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/htc-shift-gets-hands-on/">HTC Shift gets hands on</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 13 Aug 2007 07:44:00 EST.
