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!

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!
