Paul Smith's Blog

My main areas of interest can be divided up into three neat little groups. Science, politics and technology. I'm an astronomer and sceptic. Some of my astro-photos can be found in my gallery. Politically I'm a socialist, a member of the Yeovil Labour Party and the LRC. Technology wise I'm a Microsoft MVP for Windows Desktop Experience and am actively involved in several online computing related communities. I also co-host a PC and console game related podcast called Gamercast.

For people offering decent employment opportunities here's my resume.

If you want to get in contact with me feel free to send me an e-mail.

HTC Shift - Ultra Mobile PC

HTC, the manufacturer of a lot of Smart phones and Pocket PC phones, are now moving into the Ultra Mobile PC market too.

HTC Shift Ultra Mobile PC

Yes, it runs Windows Vista, including Aero and it features a 7 inch touch screen. The specs are as follows:

VIA CPU (the one we tried had a 1.2GHz chip).
Windows Vista Business Edition.
7-inch sliding, tiling wide-touchscreen.
30GB drive.
Tri-band UMTS / HSDPA, quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE .
WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0.
Biometric reader, front-facing camera.

Microsoft pushed the development of the Ultra Mobile PC devices over the last couple of years, as a sort of mini-Tablet PC. With a number of manufacturers releasing models. Its definitely good to see more manufacturers join in with such a wide array of devices to try and push the price point down, hopefully to the point at which I can afford one.

Engadget has more details.
