I know…but someone has to win…right? It might as well be one of us.
So! If any of you are the winner, be sure to come back and let us know!

What would I do with it though….what are the chances of getting Linux to run on this device? Probably slim to none thanks to the Pocket PC stuff…
But then….what if they/you/someone hacked the PPC side of things to run Maemo and you could swotch between Ubuntu Mobile and Maemo?? HMMMM!

Joel, it’s a full on UMPC – it doesn’t run WM/PPC (as had early on been reported and hoped), it runs WINDOWS. Hack away! ;-D

Doesn’t it run both?? Isn’t there a button to switch between them?? That was my thought. Unless I am reading wrong!

No, that was the DualCor cPc.
And for a while we thought it might be the Shift’s plan, too – which was plenty exciting.
The Shift is not running full Windows Mobile, however. It has some sort of Shell application that allows it to receive Exchange information when the Windows side is powered down. Unless a new announcement has come out in the last couple months that I missed, they never added ful WM / PPC to it. I wish they had, though!
