RE: MANY more 1st quality games are needed!
For example, you can get their "Adventure Pack" with Legacy and Galactic Realms: Into The Void or the "Fun Pack" with Kickoo's Breakout, MegaBowling, and PaintBall for $29.99.
FYI, the devices actually hit J&R's retail store last Thursday. They were supposed to hit CompUSA this Thursday (the 24th), but CompUSA.com mentions a 6/28 date, so it's possible that the date has slipped by a few days. I guess we'll see. Also, there are some imaages on my site of the special in-store display they'll be using.

;-p
I'll go and check out the shots of those displays. Any word on a possible price drop for either Zodiac in the coming months; that is, in time for back to school sales/early Christmas shopping?
RE: MANY more 1st quality games are needed!
I obtained a Zodiac/2 about 5 or 6 months ago for testing purposes and have collected a short list of games since then. [They include Stuntcar Extreme (included with the Z/2), Daedalus 3D, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Warfare Incorporated and Syphunter). These have killer graphics, excellent sound quality, make great use of the Zod's controller buttons and offer superior mobile play-ability. Want more good news? Battery life is suprisingly long lasting.
Oh yeah, while bigger than my Tungsten|T3 (my primary device) it makes an excellent Palm organizer, too.
Last thought. While testing has completed, playing has not. ;-)
- Well, it's doing something...
Is there a Good Web Browser for the Zodiac
Is there a good email program for the Zodiac that is similar or better than VersaMail?
RE: Is there a Good Web Browser for the Zodiac
For an email app, I like SnapperMail.

Ditto with Versa Mail, it's the most powerful, versatile, yet easy to use mail program I've ever used. Version 2.5 is available for $35USD.
RE: Is there a Good Web Browser for the Zodiac
Is this correct?

The Palm OS world desperately needs a really great non-PDA-specific browser with tabbed browsing and other features.

MANY more 1st quality games are needed!
However, everything I've read indicates that the few titles are merely warmed-over GB & Palm ports. Since Tapwave is having a hard time drumming up developer support, I would suggest them bundling titles onto MMC for the retail market. There's no reason that you couldn't shoehorn, say, Wolfenstein 3d & Doom II onto a single card or have Duke Nukem & Spy Hunter on another card. Tapwave could then go with the dual approach of it being a "2-in-1" entertainment & productivity machine as well as all software titles available at retail being "2-in-1" as well. Look at the success in the PC market with companies like EA & Activision constantly bundling old titles into "four games for $20" packages. MDM & Handmark do the same thing with most of their entertainment titles on MMC. It'd also be nice to see dual platform software cards at retail-Palm & Zodiac-enhanced versions on a single card.
Supposedly the in-store displays provided by Tapwave at J&R and most of the larger CompUSA stores are very impressive. Has anyone seem a Zodiac in their local CUSA yet?
