| Tapwave Readies Gamer's PDA |

Tapwave has come out of stealth mode, revealing some details of its forthcoming mobile gaming handheld device that will be released for sale in the United States by the end of the year.
The company, founded in 2001 and made up of former Palm executives, is developing a handheld device designed primarily for gaming, but with additional features. The Tapwave device will feature personal information management tools, audio and video players, and even a word processor. It is known only by its code name, Helix, and features a backlit 3.8-inch screen in a package that weighs less than 6 ounces. Tapwave will use the i.MX family of processors from Motorola in the Helix device. The graphics processors will be provided by one of ATI Technologies' Imageon products for handheld devices. Dual rechargeable lithium batteries will be installed in the Helix, but the company is not yet releasing estimates on the length of battery life. Bluetooth will be included with the product to enable up to eight players to engage in multiplayer games wirelessly. They'll have to be in the same room, however, as Bluetooth's range is generally confined to about 30 feet. Users will be able to plug in Wi-Fi cards, digital cameras, or memory cards through Secure Digital (SD) slots. http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,110676,00.asp |
