  Tapwave Zodiac 2 Console:

   

  Tapwave Zodiac 2 ConsoleThe Tapwave Zodiac 2 is an all-purpose entertainment console that delivers the best of everything; it is a high-end PDA, a portable gaming tool, and an MP3 player all in one sleek package.

 

  Running on an incredible new processor designed to handle the most demanding gaming and multimedia applications, it displays perfect still images and crystal-clear sound -- even realistic digital video. 

 

  The high-resolution 480x320 display delivers 16-bit color for incredible graphics.

 

Product Description:

 

  The Motorola i.MX1 ARM9 processor provides uncompromised performance in a very power-efficient design. What's more, the i.MX1 processor is optimized for multimedia and Bluetooth functions, making it the ideal engine for Zodiac.

 

  The ATI Imageon graphics accelerator delivers advanced 2D hardware graphics performance. And the FatHammer X-Forge 3D graphics engine expands on that performance to deliver advanced console-quality 3D games and other rich 3D content.

 

  Between these smart power-saving technologies and high-capacity batteries, you'll be able to go, do and play longer between charges. It all adds up to a potent platform for mobile entertainment.

 

  Serious Gaming - Basically, it's a game console that fits in your pocket. True analog controller and a full complement of ergonomically placed triggers and action buttons let you stay in control of game play. 

 

  Yamaha audio component, stereo speakers, and earbud-style headphones produce rich sound. Vibration effects complete the sensory experience. Premiere titles from the industry's leading publishers increase the fun. And automated, web-based high-score reporting enables you to participate in tournaments and community competition on select games.

 

  True Analog Control - Pressure-sensitive joystick provides total control.

 

  Listen to Music, View Photos, Watch Videos - Full-featured digital music player makes it easy to organize and play all your favorite MP3s. Play music in the background while doing just about anything with your Zodiac console. Carry your favorite photos with you and create slide shows to share with your friends and family. Use the Kinoma full-screen, full-motion video player.

 

  Connect to Microsoft Outlook - Seamlessly sync your organizer data with Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Store names, phone numbers, addresses and more in the Address Book. Manage and view your schedule using the Date Book. Track commitments and assignment with the To Do List and keep up with the notes using the Memo Pad. Create Microsoft Word-compatible documents using the word processing application with an integrated dictionary, thesaurus and spell checkers.

 

  Connect Wirelessly - Press the Bluetooth button on your Zodiac and you're ready to challenge up to 7 other worthy opponents to some spirited wireless, multiplayer gaming. Pair the Zodiac with a supported Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone or Bluetooth hub and enjoy wireless connectivity almost anywhere in the world. Send messages, images and more to your friends. (Number of players supported determined by game.)

 

  Feel Fit and Function With a Slick, Ergo-centric Design - At just 6.3 ounces, Zodiac doesn't weigh you down. It's brilliantly smart design supports both landscape or portrait orientation.

 

  Superior Expandability - Two easily accessible expansion slots let you add anything from memory to content to SDIO cards. Double the fun. Double the expandability. Pump up your memory to 1GB with the latest cards. Drop an SD card into one slot and view a video or a photo album. Use the other to switch between your favorite games. Or maybe add a digital camera. The options are nearly endless.

 

  And because Zodiac was built on the Palm OS, you've got your choice of thousands of applications, right out of the chute.
