I bought a copy of MAD magazine (haven't for about 10 years) and there's an interesting handheld ad in it.
Now I haven't been keeping up with handheld/palm devices so this appears to have come out of the blue.
Here's the blurb:
------------------------------------------------------
* Get console quality gaming with analog controller, integrated triggers and action button array [it has a better interface than N-gage]
* Play wireless with up to 8 players using built in bluetooth
* Listen to MP3s on stereo speakers or included earbuds [earbuds = headphones + marketing crap]
* Watch videos and view your photo library on the big, hi-res, backlit color display
* Manage your claendar and contacts. Create Microsoft Word compatible documents
* Choose from more than 19,000 Palm OS applications
-------------------------------------------------------
So it's a Palm based gaming system with bells and whistles which is powerful enough to run Tony Hawks 4 and has the cash to take out fullpage ads on the inside cover of magazines.
Is this a threat to the GBA and are Microsoft throwing their weight behind it?
There's an interesting quote at the top of the page which reads:
"GBA eat your heart out"
- official XBOX Magazine July, 2003
So what do you lot think?

Sounds more like another XBox magazine being it's usual rubbish, biased and totaly unclever self and finding an article on this 'Zodiac'
Although the handheld sounds interesting. However, the simplicity of the GBA is also it's main advantage. Plug and play = fun, none of this palm pilot equivelent.
