Conclusion
Let’s mention the battery and online time in a few words before the conclusion. Vista can theoretically run for 2 hours with one charge – I can only confirm this value, what more, this was achieved during browsing the web through WiFi. SnapVUE of course takes much more; it was online for two days (!), while it was continuously checking my email.
I think this answers the big question of what SnapVue is good for. Well it’s good because we can perform regular, frequent tasks (new SMS-e-mail, calendar entry, time, weather forecast) without consuming too much battery power. The idea is good, but it would be even better if it would be running Windows Mobile 6, as rumored, as we could be watching movies, listening to music, browsing the web for a longer time that way – moreover, with the exception of web browsing I’m not sure that we would have a user experience inferior to the one provided by Vista. Of course those who buy such a machine are not sure that want to listen to music on it, not even with these exceptional quality speakers, but it would still be good to have the possibility of installing TCPMP.
Unfortunately the list of negative aspects is longer than I would have expected: poor online time under Vista, keyboard without a backlight, hard to use touchpad-mouse, HTC Communication Manager freezes a lot and of course there is the non-expandable SnapVUE system. On a whole, the machine is usable, but I think this SnapVUE is not worth this much, I’d rather choose a UMPC with better online time, than Shift. However the idea deserves an award.
