The Shift is a fantastic bit of design work. Its got the optimal form factor for both keyboard and slate working, its got powerful enough hardware to run most applications, a bright screen, built in 3G and a price that is very competitive indeed. The only unresolved question is battery life. Its going to be some weeks before we get the final answer to that question! In the meantime well just have to dream a little.
Here’s a video to help you bridge that gap. It was taken at the launch event on Monday and you’ll hear me talking about the screen resolutions, the keyboard and battery life. The HQ version is shown below (WMV 1mbps) but there’s a YouTube version also available.
