The HTC Shift is a unique UMPC that runs both Windows Vista and Windows Mobile 6 simultaneously. It sports a 7-inch wide-screen touch display that slides and tilts to reveal a QWERTY keyboard, a 800MHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 40GB Hard drive as well as the usual features of Windows Vista Business, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, and Tri-Band UMTS/HSDPA, Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE. Add to this an SD flash memory card slot, a GPS receiver, VGA out, a biometric fingerprint scanner, and a second 400MHz processor using SnapVUE technology to allow Windows Mobile 6 to run in the simultaneously with Vista or by itself in a power saving mode.
