I have been waiting for this darn Shift to come to a Vodafone here so in the mean time I picked up a couple of EeePC's (white for my wife and black for me).
I was surprised as to how well the thing works. It is ugly but once I slapped Windows XP on it it worked a lot better than the original linux. I stripped the XP down to get rid of all the crap with nlite and stopped it using a hibernation file and page file, put in a gig of ram and it is very snappy.
I am curious to see how it stacks up against the Shift. I will be amazed if Vista runs (or even walks for that matter).
I wanted this to program on in places I can't bring my laptop. It is light enough to carry around in one hand and the battery lasts just under 4 hours giving plenty of time to stare at the code.
I stripped down visual studio and msdn to the minimum that allow the coding I want and laboriously installed them one file at a time. This is because there is not enough storage space on the thing to perform a normal installation, instead each file must be used then deleted until all have been done. Its just lucky Microsoft coded it to give the option to find missing file without killing the installation!
I put on a bunch of other software to an SD card and val la - a fully functional computer. Here are some screen shots.

Yall Gotta Have Diz First Came Custom Rides Custom Homes now a Custom Phone.
The fully-customizable zzzPhone has launched. And when we say "fully customizable," we mean FULL customizable. With phone which comes with a 3-inch touch screen, 2GB memory, and 3-megapixel camera, runs on Windows Mobile 6 and is available for US$149. But that doesn't stop there. You can customize not only your phone's color, but also its features (higher megapixel, Skyper in your phone, etc), which would, understandably, also add to the price. We can't wait to see if the zzzPhone becomes a hit because if it is, then the major players in the industry are given something to think about.

I like the idea of pick your own options. Hopefully this will catch on. Thanks for sharing, I will be keeping an eye on these to see how they stack up quality wise when so user data is available.
sounds good, but there is always a catch....either a lack of something or something you don't want.
Just found this info, and it appears that the zzzPhone is now going to be running a non windows mobile OS. Possible Google Android in the near future.

The red squiggles show where I think a clue could be placed to show there are more items in the list. It could be an arrow key or any standard method of indicating there are moe things out of view. The red and green arrows are just possible alternatives. The programs touch flo screen could do with the same as it is not OBVIUOS there are more items to be seen.
A nice silver triangle button that fades when there are no more items would be cool.
Some may ask why I suggest this interface usability tweak (in any format). Good question.

Hmmmm......after using TF3D or even READING THE MANUAL it is obvious that there are more items to display.....
Don´t need an arrow in e.g. the contacts application to remind me that there is more than just one page.......but then again, that´s just me.......
BTW: I´ve long turned off TF3D for a less funky but faster and more usable interface.....
But
RTFM and learning are not available to the people who are not 'lovers' of the technology.
They pick it up, look at it, and don't enquire..
Many business users are almost or over, half a century old.
They wouldn't see the value of XDA Developers, etc.

If anyone, for any reason, does not read the manual of the device, they don't deserve to use its full potential.
So I was just browsing through some of the sub-forums and I found a lot of questions asking, "HOW KENN I RUN iPHONE APZ ON MI PPC?"
I today have brought you a solution.
Using this method, your phone/device will not need any additional memory usage, or even any additional software/hardware for that matter. All games will run full speed too! And the best part is -- none of this will affect your battery life!
Here you go folks! A picture is worth a thousand words, so this video is worth a million (Or something like that! )

Tada!!
edit: This will work with all screen resolutions!
Does this work on the HTC HD2?

Upon further inspection it works on every phone on every operating system
It's a really hilarious* video showing someone running an app on an iphone which he has physically placed on top of a PPC.
* when I write, hilarious, I really didn't mean it.
Thread can be closed now, if not deleted, please.
It will run on my Tilt, as long as it is on my desk. But will not run on my Tilt if it is in the charging dock. Any ideas ?
fail thread.

thanks
thats so cool, Im gonna try that.
I haven't seen anyone else post anything about this so I thought I would. I installed the Lite version on my GTab and it rocks! It's limited (hence the "lite") but it acts similar to a desktop. Check it out HERE.

Your link actually when to the VISTA app not Seven?
here is the correct link to Seven
https://slideme.org/en/application/android-seven-lite
My bad. Good lookin' out.
funny thing is I downloaded it on my hero and did a Titanium backup of it to move it to my gtab and the packaged files all referenced Android Vista? lol
Wait what?!??!
I can suppose that it is just an imitation of windows running over android; or does it counts as a windows distribution??
Srry for my ignorance but having windows in my tab, at least for 1 day, would make my tab to have internet at school.

It's not actual Windows. Just an interface setup to ACT like Windows. It's actually pretty sweet. Might invest in the Pro version some day.
does it override other launder such as ADW? If I don't like it, can I just simply uninstall it and back to ADW? just wanted to double check before installing.. I probably do a backup first..
I've tried it and its just an app, not even a home option as far as I can tell. Its interesting but not really sure I can say more then that. Once you exit, it goes back to your default desktop

I admit, Android phones could be great if they were refined, settings organized, touchscreen offset and calibrated, and applications made for it weren't lazy copies from iPhone riddled with malware, but unfortunately that isn't the case, also multiple restrictions, no control over application permissions and self-changing options are the most annoying part of Android.
Good luck removing that malware that cant be removed, installing antiviruses that don't do a thing, setting the screen time-out to "Never" or taking emergency school work pictures when your Android is at 10% battery, or asking for support on forums wasting hours of your life.
Me I'm done, parents and grandparents all been switched to iPhones, all problems suddenly disappeared, nobody is bothering me to fix their phone anymore :good:
All phones are encrypted and protected with 20 character passwords, yet unlocked in split second. (Granted, you can have that too, if you choose to encrypt aka marry SD card to your phone forever, but 99% of you wont take that chance, so setting any passwords is a pointless exercise.)
I'll hang around to answer some questions if anyone has gotten any.
lol...I'd like to post a "coolstorybro.jpg" meme but that would be rather rude for my part...instead I will close this thread and go back to watching my stories on TV....
