As for PDA's not being gaming devices, while that was intially true..much like the cf vs sd price gap things have changed. The latest stats that I have seen showed that consumers held over 70% of the market on them now. Devices such as the tapwave only further blur the lines. I would bet that after the first wave of media center devices and the release of Direct3d support the lines between pda and handheld gaming device will be blurred to the point of practical merger. Ever wonder MS didnt go for the throat with a handheld after the Xbox overtook the gamecube? Many belive that MS has a long term strategy to completely dominate the handheld market by slowly evolving the pocket pc to an all in one device. I think thats the main reason we are seeing companies like EA trying to make small footholds in the market already.
