Here’s a bit of sad news: Tapwave, manufacturer of the Palm-based Zodiac gaming handheld, has shut its doors. We said nice things about this product repeatedly, and gave it an award in 2004.
The Zodiac took the Palm OS–still one of the best operating systems ever built for a mobile device–and put it in a handheld with a beautiful oversized screen, fast graphics, impressive audio, and built-for-gameplaying controls. It was an extremely slick design and I didn’t encounter a single person around the PCW offices who tried the Zodiac and wasn’t impressed.
It’s always sad news when great tech get’s the doors shut on it. Check out the full posting at PC World.
