That price may have been justified when they first announced, but no more. Only 40gb HD, only 800x480 resolution, they could get full 1024x600 or 768 on that 7 inch screen.

I'll wait for the fire sale.

I bought one and it is fabulous. I also own an OQO-02, Flipstart, Fujitsu U810, Samsung Q1 Ultra, Sony U380, and the Shift beats them all. The workmanship is excellent. Yes, the native display resolution is 800x480 but it also has (with the press of a button) a rendered 1024x600 mode which is the cleanest I've seen with excellent visibility. The Snapview mode is what differentiates this machine from any other. By pressing a button, you switch to a full Pocket PC mode with VGA screen resolution displaying contacts, email, calendar, weather, etc. And the screen layout is very nice. I think what you really get for this machine is well worth the price. You really have to see it and use it to appreciate its value.

I purchased it at Onthegosolutions.com last week for $1559. They have since raised their prices.
