HTC’s Shift: runs Windows Mobile right, after all, it’s an HTC device? Nope, Vista Business Edition. That Windows Mobile looking UI we’ve seen is HTC’s “SnapVUE” shell, an advanced BIOS with support for some of the same applications you would see on a Windows Mobile device. So while you won’t get voice capability or Windows Mobile Office, the Sideshow-like display will supply up to 53-hours of use with push mail enabled (11 days, without). At least that’s what Kaz911 is saying after getting their hands on the claimed, official HTC specs and interviewing Kevin Chen, General Manager HTC EMEA. whether the spec list is to be believed, we’re looking at an 800MHz Intel Stealey-class (dual-core) CPU; 1GB memory; up to 60GB of disk; 7-inch, 800 x 480 touch-sensitive LCD for all the Aero and 3D flip action you can handle; 802.11b/g WiFi; Bluetooth 2.0; and of course a 400MHz Qualcomm MSM 7200 chipset for tri-band UMTS / HSDPA and quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE. The odd (and hopefully inaccurate) spec is the 2700mAh battery rated for “up to 2-hours” of that Vista wow. Sounds a bit fishy to us

for a McCaslin-based UMPC which targets 4-5 hours of battery life. We’ll see once these official specs are actually released by HTC.
