Well, for starters, we unearthed reports on the HTC-made CLIO200, a heretofore unknown device that appears to be making its way through the approval process. Using our Miss Cleo-like "sixth sense," we've discovered that the unit will sport CDMA, EV-DO, 802.11b/g, and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. The FCC is referring to this little guy as a UMPC (and it does have the telltale air vents of a such a device), though it also seems like it could be a mobile phone of the TyTn variety (at least from the looks of the diagrams depicting it being held to a user's ear)."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20071201-engadgetmobile_htc_clio.jpg" /><br /><br />A CDMA version of the Shift? The first Android device? We'll find out eventually, but this early look should whet your appetites.<br /><br /><b>Update:</b> Steve at <a href="http://www.umpcportal.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1082">UMPCPortal</a> has confirmed that the device is indeed an HTC Shift, albeit with an EVDO radio rather than HSDPA:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20071205_umpcportal_shiftback_thumb_3.jpg" /><br /><br />The darn thing isn't even in general distribution yet, and HTC are upping the stakes already! But coming on the heels of the announcement of an HSDPA-equipped OQO E2, it looks like HTC are moving none too soon. Life is getting very interesting in the UMPC world right now.
