If you have actually been waiting for HTC's take on the ultramobile PC (UMPC) form factor then The Register points out that it "will be available from online retailer Expansys on 19 February, for a device-only price of £885 (€1185/$1720)." Yes, "more than three times the price of an Eee"!
The communications features are quad-band GSM/GPRS/Edge, 3G HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0.
If you've forgotten what the "shift" bit is about, the machine has a second processor that provides PDA (ie PocketPC) functions. However, the world of mobile gadgets has changed such a lot in the past year, It has probably missed whatever opportunity it had.
