I imagine this will work on the upcoming Tapwave Zodiac but will there be a version that fully exploits the Zodiac's incredible specs? |

Warfare Incorporated has been tuned for a very large range of devices, including Tapwave Zodiac. Special support was put in the product to take advantage of Zodiac's graphics hardware.

*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.

This is way better than any Sony device. This is way smaller, this can do a lot more (way more than a gameboy can, plus the games are a MILLION times better). Not only that, it was dual batteries, dual speakers (awesome stereo sound), dual expansion slots, etc. _________________ Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

You may have typed this wrong, but this makes no sense, especially since we are talking about the Tapwave Zodiac right now... _________________ Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

The game is optimized heavily across all Palm device types. In the case of pre-OS 5 Clie devices, the game can get an extra boost from the MediaQ graphics accelerator chip found in those devices. MQGX.prc is simply the interface the game uses to use this graphics accelerator. Minor fact: the Palm m130 also uses the MediaQ chip.

Yeah, Scott said they optimized it to take advantage of teh Zodiacs Hardware (the ATI Imageon 3d graphics card and the X-Forge 3d game engine). The processor alone can handle the game, but with these, this makes it even easier for the device to handle. Besides, the ATI and X-Forge are way better than the Q-chip thing the Clie's have... _________________ Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE
