Abstract
In this paper it is shown that if X is a connected space which is not pesudocompact, then βX is not movable and does not have metric shape. In particular βX cannot have trivial shape. It is also shown that if X is Lindelöf and KχβX−X is a continuum, then K cannot be movable or have metric shape unless it is a point.
