You can see from the photo that the Shift runs on Windows Vista but don't be completely fooled — it's really a cell phone at heart.
Taiwan’s HTC manufactures great Windows Mobile smartphones. In the United States, their handsets are sold by cellular companies under their own names, like the T Mobile Dash, Cingular’s 8125 or Verizon’s XV6700.
But HTC’s full corporate name is High Tech Computer Corp. — and that means they don’t feel constrained to manufacture only little cellular handsets.
So, even before this week’s Cellular Telecommunications & Internet expo begins here in the land of orange groves and Disney World, HTC was busy making some interesting non-cell phone announcements.
First, a new device that HTC calls the Shift. It has a cell phone inside — but it’s a full-blown portable Windows Vista PC — about the size of two DVD boxes stacked on top of each other.
The Shift has a cool 7-inch widescreen touch display, a 30 GB hard drive and a slide-open QWERTY keyboard that you can actually type on. Shift is bigger than mini-laptop offerings from OQO and FlipStart but a whole lot smaller than standard or sub-compact laptops you’re familiar with.
