It took damn near forever, but the HTC Shift—the UMPC that was supposed to change your mind about UMPCs—has finally hit store shelves in the States. To refresh your memory, the features include an 800 Mhz processor, Vista Business, 1GB RAM, a 40GB HD, Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, HSDPA/UMTS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Unfortunately, it will cost you more than many conventional laptops at $1629.99. [onthegosolutions]

What's amazing is that this wouldn't draw nearly as much flack as the Air. All of its wireless connectivity aside, I see nothing about this thing that warrants a $1,600 price tag.
