I think I said this once about the Shift and I’ll say it again-love the form factor but it’s got the wrong operating system. Too bad it’s not running Tiger or Leopard.

This was a long held thought for you Judie..

I have consistently been unable to view how I would use a UMPC as it just looks like yet another device to install software on and integrate data from one machine to another, hence my like of the Advantage series..

Well, I’m selling my Advantage in prep for the new one, but am starting to wane even on that. Since I have to usually carry a laptop, a smartphone (Moto Q9 and even my Nokia E51 does most of what I need)deals with all the other stuff until I boot up for the most part..

Too expensive for my taste, and I allready have an UMPC (Raon Everun), that was almost half the price, it’s smaller and lasts a lot longer on the battery – but it’s slower and lacks a usable keyboard.

For now I’ll pass, but there is a possibility that Shift will be available to employees in my company and if that happens I’ll be very tempted.

You know me; if I can’t make and receive cell phone calls with it, I am not interested! I hear rumors of an HTC MID coming in 2009….my Advantage ought to last that long!

I will wait for the release of the Redfly. Way cheaper and more suited to someone in cdma territory
