[quote="XboxJunkie101"]where did he say that...?[quote]
It's the third post in this forum...
[quote="XboxJunkie101"]anyways it wont make that big of a differance mabe a little [/quote]
Wat, the ATI graphics card and the X-Forge engine? Maybe not with this game, but this device can handle games that the current clie's couldn' handle (including teh UX series). _________________ Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

[quote="XboxJunkie101"]*I think Zodiac's are cool, but to much $$$ to get one...
*You most likely wont see a difference in the game...
*You getting it for the palm in whole, or just the game?
*I think it is more like a Gameboy than a palm(not that anything is wrong with the game boy)...
What i am trying to say is that while the Tapwave Zodiac is cool and all, you sholdnt buy one becouse you want a palm, but becouse you want to play games... If you want a palm get one like a Sony.

It has the best specs of any PDA and costs less than a Clie NX series. Why not get it even if not interested in gaming? I'm interested in both though so intend to take a good look at it.
I find it strange that some say it is pricey. At $300, it is cheaper than most high end PDAs yet has better specs. _________________ Just got my Zodiac 2. |

Yeah...really. It drives me nuts when they say it is pricy, but I don't think most people are looking at it in the Palm view, they are just looking at it from the gaming aspect (when they should really be looking at it in several different views. An mp3 player, a video player, a Palm, and a Playstation. If they looked at it that way, they would know it is very cheap). _________________ Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Yes... I see your point of view finally and I agree and disagree, if it is over $500, i dissagree, you should just buy a sony clie, and a Mp3 player, but if it is about $300 I agree with you.
How much is it?

Can you play nice games like the Zodiac has...no. Does it have a graphics card...no. Does it have 128mb RAM...not even close. Does it have a 3d graphics engine..no. Does it have dual expansion slots...no. Does it have an SDIO slot...no, does it have dual batteries...no. Does it have dual stereo speakers...no. The Zodiac is way better than a Clie...I'm sorry if you don't believe that. _________________ Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

The Zodiac was officially announced today and you can now place pre-orders. I ordered one this morning, the Zodiac 2. They are shipping in Oct., some think mid-October.
So I realize that the Palm version will run on Zodiac, but does the current binary release fully exploit Zodiac's abilities (graphics engine, stereo sound, etc.) or is there a separate release coming?
What will WFI support on Zodiac that is unique from other PDA's? _________________ Just got my Zodiac 2. |

We put special support in the game for Zodiac to take advantage of its graphics hardware. It runs great! _________________ Warfare Incorporated Development Team |

"Special support was put in the product to take advantage of Zodiac's graphics hardware. "
He said it right there And even if you don't want one for gaming a zodiac 2 is a heck o a lot better than current os5 pda's for normal pda'ing. |
