I strongly agree with this... I can't imagine that there's any real profit potential for a company such as EA in the PPC/Palm world. There's just too few handheld units in people's hands compared to the highly lucrative handheld and console gaming platforms, and probably even fewer people willing to shell out $15-30 for games on this platform.

Another thing to consider... It would not surprise me at all if microsoft or someone else PAID electronic arts to produce this as a "starter game", giving them an incentive in case the sales are lackluster.
