Different hardware versions of the Shift

[spzero]

well there may be all identical except hard drive or they may be hardware changes as expansis suggests i posted this elsewhere and got no response so ive opened up this thread as a means to discuss any hardware differences in future models or revisions or to discuss speculation of what maybe changed included at least untill we have a production model to check (please not for dxiscussion of voice its being brougvht up 2many times anyway and it will have voice and if not it would not be a hardware issue only software)

no question of gps but !!!!!! is it just certain versains that have it or ALL the shifts, looking at expansis and on their US site they have 30GB with GPS on UK site 40GB without so is it justg the 308GB or will all models have gps?? http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?k=101611

i believe all the versions will have gps,since they use the same chipset like kaizer and polaris from qualcomm
i told you before that the problem is, there is no gps software for vista to work ,so why to advertise something without use, until now.


in the official site they do not say anything for gps but the gps is there.http://www.europe.htc.com/en/products/htcshift.html

and i said just use tom tom 6 or google maps from WM6 so its no big deal... and maybe someone will make a decent vista software now other umpcs are starting to ship with gps and only vista.

and we dont know for sure all versions will be the same and have gps or other things exactly the same maybe hidden things only time will tell

1.i didn't now that tomtom 6 can play with laptops and pc with external gps antenna..........google maps need connection even not gps in the new version.
2.maybe is hidden in some versions like htc3600 and you can activated after

really interesting question with GPS.

i think there is no jack for external GPS Antenna. And: if you have an Qualcomm Chipset with GPS is not really neccersary from manufactur, to deploy it with internal GPS Antenna. (See angry Users of HTC Wings and Touch Dual)

the other think is: is a interconnection between qualcomm and PC hardware? hehe, really interesting... can they talk together with all functions? ?

a navigation solution on WM6 like Tomtom is better, it dont need so much power like PC hardware and is safely from shocks Problems of the internal Harddisk.

but there a 2 big other questions:

- is there really implemented a full version of Windows Mobile 6 like a HTC Kaiser e.g.?
- what type of Harddisk is inside? 1,3" or 1,8" HDD or solide state Disk?

(harddisk type is really interesting for me, I test at the moment all SSD Drives on the market for replacement in some high end sub notebooks of our company - that´s is the purpose for the project - and evaluate the shift for replacement our sub notebooks :-)

hmm, your ssd drive from SANDISK has an ZIF connector. maybe the shift used a normal 1,8" IDE connector like cf cards? uhh. or not...

interesting for me: can I install windows XP for our Business too? is there drivers for the hardware available? And: i need a LAN Card for installation via Server :-)
