HTC Shift
Taiwan-based High Tech Computer, which has in the last two years moved beyond being a manufacturer of equipment for other companies to releasing devices under its own brand, debuted `Shift’, an “ultra-mobile PC”. About the size of a pair of CD jewel cases, the Shift has a tilt-up screen and a full laptop-style keyboard, plus multiple connectivity options, including GSM, Edge, UMTS, HSDPA, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.
Rather than a conventional mobile operating system such as Windows Mobile or Symbian, the Shift runs the full Windows Vista Business.
It dons a 7-inch, 800x480 touchscreen, 1GB of RAM and 30 GB hard drive. There is a fingerprint reader and a small 1.2-megapixel webcam.
