Sprint today launched two new devices to take advantage of its 4G WiMAX network. The HTC Evo Shift 4G is a QWERTY-slider with a 3.6-inch touchscreen, smaller than both the Evo 4G and Epic 4G devices already available. The Shift 4G runs Android 2.2 and HTC's Sense interface concept. It features a 5-megapixel camera, 720p video recording, and Sprint Mobile Hotspot support, allowing it to share a network connection with 8 other devices over Wi-Fi. The HTC Evo Shift 4G will be available on January 9 for $150 with a contract agreement. Sprint also announced the MiFi 3G/4G from Novatel Wireless. The new MiFi follows up on the original with added 4G support. The new MiFi also features a microSD card slot. Sprint says the MiFi 3G/4G should last up to 4 hours on one charge. The MiFi 3G/4G will be available on February 27 for $50 with a contract agreement.
