The Last Sign of the Zodiac

In what shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, Gamasutra is reporting that Tapwave [tapwavegraffiti, tapwavedead] is no longer manufacturing the highly acclaimed Zodiac PDA [zodiacend, zodiacreset]. Instead, they are focusing on developing new hardware to be co-branded with other partners.

While I really like my Zodiac, it is definitely a niche device for hardcore PalmOS [Answers] fans and especially fans of classic game emulators. Let's hope the next round of PDAs from Tapwave have the same level of capabilities and thoughtful design as the Zodiac.

Update: Much more detailed information can be found at Tapland, including a long statement from Tapwave. Most interesting items of note: The Zodiac is being considered a platform which will have a new API available soon, and an enhanced version of the Novarra nWeb Browser (provider of Palm's WebPro 3.0) is being released for the Zodiac soon.
