Fujitsu FMV-U8240 ( U50WN, U1010 ) UMPC compared to HTC Shift, Size vs Size


Fujitsu looks smaller... but if you calculate total volume, Fuji is actually bigger with 728 cm3 compared to Shifts 668 cm3. So Fujitsu is bigger with smaller screen ??

Official HTC Shift details


Updated info: Weight 800g, size: 207mm x 129 mm x 25 mm

Windows Vista operating time: Up to 2 hours!!! WTF! I hope it will be closer to 3 hours as Hugo said at GottaBeMobile.com

I also hope we will get the full WM6 when it's shipping...

UPDATE: Kevin Chen, HTC: No full WM6, resolution will remain 800 x 480..

jkkmobile: WTF!!! if it gives only 2 hours, has no wm6 and resolution still stays 800 x 480, it will make the perfect design useless!

Low power, high performance and very durable. Should we settle for less on our UMPCs..

HTC Shift UMPC shipping with "limited" Windows Mobile 6?


I noticed that on preview video at GottaBeMobile.com there was many things missing on the WM6 interface... like Start button.

Kaz was just playing with it and noticed the same:"The current model only got a "limited" Windows Mobile 6 built in. No Mobile Office in it."

So can we install other softwares to it? If it will be limited version with limitations, it really can't justify the native resolution of 800 x 480.

You better put full WM6 with Office and SideShow goodness to it HTC!!!
