It was deleted. Amazing. That's the last time I'll be visiting that site. I wonder what Hugo and Gotta Be Mobile are getting from HTC to promote their products? Exclusives? Free review units? Pathetic. It's sad that they would compromise their integrity for material bullshit. I replicated a number of my concerns here in a post over at the Gotta Be Mobile site.

Period." While I'll admit that Hugo's geeky gadget giddiness is contagious, I'm not as taken with this device as so many others who want to dub this the jesusumpc. For those of you who have yet to watch the video, here are one man's observations: The design is slick. Not as sexy as the UX, but very clean. Nice finish. It took over 3 minutes to wake from sleep mode. It has a sim slot, but will NOT have voice capabilities. Hugo later mentions that it will be 1024 x 600 interpolated. His enthusiasm had me psyched for the first three minutes as he rained compliments on everything from the stylus to the battery. I didn't see much to validate that enthusiasm as the video wore on. Especially waiting more than 3 minutes for it to wake from hibernation while he gave us an overview of the Pocket PC platform. I suppose we can play Bejeweled in the meantime. Watching him switch from tablet-mode with a stylus to placing it on his laptop to type to an awkward looking 2-handed method where he held it in one hand to hold it as he used his index finger on the touch screen AND to one-finger type with the other made ME tired. I realize I'm sounding as biased as Hugo does in this video, but I can't say I'm sold. Why these bloggers and commenters seem to wet their jeans over this thing is beyond me. I can't wait to see some benchmarks. Now don't take my word for it. I appreciate the video, and it is definitely worth watching, but this thing isn't the UMPC messiah.

However, it is not a handheld at all, in fact you MUST set it down to do any typing as the width would preclude anyone from thumbing the KB. For those folks that use a separate folding KB now..it is a great alternative. For those of us who use an external KB sparingly, the handheld functionality of the UX still trumps the Shift. Both are compromises in their own way. Both great choices and with unlimited resources I would own them both...howver until that happens I'll stick with my UX...happily.
