Hands On HTC Shift EV-DO
7:16AM Adrian Covert | HTC had their Shift UMPC on display here at CTIA, which packs Sprint EV-DO, an 800 MHz Celeron processor, 1 GB RAM and a 40 GB SSD into a tidy US$1500 package. After getting touchy feely with it for a few minutes, I found it wasn’t half bad. I was especially impressed by the proprietary HTC SnapView interface that runs on top of Windows Vista, and provides quick access to weather, calendars and emails (similar to the Windows Mobile 6.1 homescreen that it’s based around).
