Imagine the device like HTC Advantage X7500 but with Windows Vista Business on-board! This device now it is real, named HTC Shift and will be shown at the Microsoft booth at CTIA this week.

Unveiled at CTIA, the HTC Shift UMPC combines the power of Windows Vista with an innovative QWERTY-based keyboard design and 3G-connectivity. The days of compromising productivity for portability are gone. The HTC Shift provides all the power, functionality and connectivity the busy professional needs in a sleek design that is half the size and a fraction of the weight of what they lug around today. Similar in size to a couple of DVD cases, the HTC Shift comes with Windows Vista Business, includes a brilliant 7-inch widescreen touch display and a 30-gigabyte hard drive. Packed with advanced connectivity, the HTC Shift features high-speed global connectivity with Tri-Band UMTS/HSDPA, Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi. A multimedia maven, the HTC Shift leverages Windows Media Player 11 to provide easy access to music, videos and photos.

The HTC Shift is combining the power of Windows Vista with advanced connectivity in a sleek mobile computer design, said Bill Mitchell, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Windows Mobile Platforms Division. HTC and Microsoft have been innovating on smartphones for years, so it is exciting to see them bring that experience and innovation to mobile computers.
