A First Sighting of HTC Shift Production Model?

Not content adding a touch screen to the Asus Eee PC, jkkmobile has also recently gotten hands on with a production model HTC Shift. Could this be a shipping model? Based on jkkmobile’s early reports, for HTC’s sake I hope not. Some of the highlights (lowlights?): less than 2 hours battery life, touch screen felt soft, hinge/rails felt clunky, mousepad is useless.
