Yahoo! News - Tapwave to Add Outlets for Handheld Game Device:

"LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Handheld gaming company Tapwave, which makes a personal digital assistant designed to play video games, will expand its retail presence beyond a deal with CompUSA to include Amazon.com Inc. and a third major retailer, the company said on Thursday.

Tim Twerdahl, Tapwave's director of console development, declined to say who the third retailer would be in an interview at the video game industry trade show E3.

But he said the new retailer would likely start selling the company's Zodiac device after an exclusive window of about two months at computer and electronics retailer CompUSA.
No date has yet been set for the Amazon launch.

Twerdahl also said the company had no plans for new Zodiac hardware this year, staking its fortunes on its existing devices in the face of imminent releases of new handheld gaming consoles from Nintendo Co. Ltd. and Sony Corp.

Tapwave's Zodiac, which comes with 32 or 128 megabytes of memory, offers all of the functions of a PDA running PalmSource Inc.'s Palm operating system, but is designed with gaming in mind, including a wide screen, an analog control stick, multiple memory slots and gaming buttons."
