HTC Shift runs both: Windows Vista AND Windows Mobile !

By now HTC was showing the HTC Shift Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) - during various events and conferences - only behind a glass. However recently it has given one unit of HTC Shift to a Microsoft MVP (in Tablet PC area, from GottaBeMobile site) so that he should present it during Tech Ed Australia! The biggest revelation is that HTC Shift actually runs both Windows Vista and (!) Windows Mobile and it even has 2 processors and can run 2 modes! A video review of HTC Shift is now available (here: HTC Shift running in Windows Mobile mode with "H" denoting "HSDPA" in title-bar): ... and new details have been revealed about this interesting device:
it can run Windows Vista and/or Windows Mobile Pocket PC - either simultaneously or in exclusive modes (it has 2 processors - one for each operating system!)
this device DOES NOT HAVE digitizer pen, but just a stylus for touch screen display ! In other words: it is not strictly a Tablet PC but rather a UMPC combined with Windows Mobile
