UMPC Portal put up a poll on their site to see how all of the news concerning the HTC Shift and the shifting specs are having on demand for the upcoming device.  The results don’t look good.Are you surprised? 

Following the less-than-perfect news about the HTC Shift battery life and WM6, sorry, Snap-Vue component we set up a poll to find out how it affected potential customers choices. The HTC Shift was (and according to the last weeks statistics) still is the most popular UMPC on UMPCPortal and it represents a design that many would regard as ideal but would customers still be interested in it if it had 2 hours battery life.

The answer is, unsurprisingly, NO. 20 people have canceled their order, an amazing 54% of people considering a purchase, took it off the top of their list and, lets spin the stats a little here, only 4% of potential customers are ready to order based on the current specifications.
