HTC’s first shot at the UPMC scene, the ShiftX9000, tries to take away the stigma that hounds UPMC devices by offering push e-mail technology via mobile broadband and a unique slide and tilt display. The design of the X9000 is enough to make it look like a premium portable. Weighing at 1.8 pound, the 1-inch thick system houses a 7-inch touchscreen, all wrapped in a leather folio. You have 3 choices on how to interact with the X9000: using your finger, the stylus, or by the responsive mini touchpad. The X9000 also has a Connection Manager that allows you to fully control the WiFi, EV-DO and Bluetooth radios. Web surfing as well as media playing is made more fun with Origami 2.0. Underneath it all is an 800-MHz Intel A110 processor and 1GB of RAM which is quite sluggish for a Vista machine. Although the reviewer states that the X9000 is not recommended to be a primary PC, and that the cost is to prohibitive to be a secondary machine, if you are looking for a device with an instant-on push e-mail, speedy mobile broadband, and responsive touchscreen, the X9000 may just be what you are looking for.
