Mugen Power, kings of high quality replacement batteries for mobile devices, have announced the release of two extended batteries for the HTC Shift!

Regular readers will know that while I applauded the Shift in general, the killer blow for me was the appalling battery life. It now looks as though a solution of sorts is here smile.gif

Two different batteries are available to order now from the Mugen Power site (with stock arriving shortly), specifically the 4400mAh HLI-X9500ML @ $169.95 and the 6600mAh HLI-X9500XL @ $239.95. The standard Shift battery is 2700mAh.

Although not cheap, the batteries are certainly capacious, and despite the inevitable added bulk, are likely to answer the prayers of many a Shift owner.

All we need now is a ROM refresh from HTC to fix those little issues that prevent the machine being the great device it could be... HTC? HTC? biggrin.gif

It would be good if HTC was to do a lower cost Shift and refresh the line for £500. Keep the same touch screen form factor, but switch to Intel's Atom processor, Windows XP and a SSD to save on power.

My perfect shift:

- Slightly larger screen with 1024x600
- Intel Atom
- 2GB RAM
- XP (or OSX, that ain't gonna happen tho, lol!)
- 2.5" SATA disk
- Battery life of 3 hours
- Full resolution use and full functionality on WinMo bit

Good specs.

Any news on a Shift refresh? The specs look outdated compared to new netbooks coming out.

PLEASE UPDATE THE SHIFT HTC smile.gif

I have a meet n greet with some people from HTC tomorrow. I have some questions myself about the shift and possibly a new shift.
