Some of the games Tapwave touts are nothing more than slightly enhanced versions available on other Palm PDAs. Tapwave may not be around in 2 years. I could understand 1 year, but not 2. If it takes P1 two years to release their next-gen Palms, P1 will also be in serious trouble.

I love the Zodiac. This is great news for people like me that have yet to buy one and want to.

Three years between generations is forever in the high tech world. By then the OQO and Sony U750 should be affordable.
