Change Gear with the HTC Shift - 3.5G Next G Mobile Computer

This baby is powerful enough to run Windows Vista and you get the best bits of a 3G PDA Phone and Notebook in one small mobile computing package.

HTC seem to be doing everything right since they launched their own brand in Australia this year (they've been manufacturing devices since 1997 mind you). Their mission to become an innovative supplier of mobile information and communication devices seems to be working out very well indeed.

The new HTC Shift is the first device to be released under their Mobile Computer / Sub Notebook range. Combining the power of Microsoft Windows Vista with always-connected 3G/HSDPA connectivity, the HTC Shift delivers unparalleled functionality in a sleek, compact design.

The HTC Shift is the first device to feature HTC's innovative new SnapVUE technology. SnapVUE provides instant access to emails, calendar, SMS messages and contacts, without the need to fully boot up the device; helping to conserve power and extend battery life.

Weighing in at just 800g and equipped with a 7 inch touch sensitive 'slide-n-tilt' screen, the HTC Shift is the new way to work effectively on the move.
