Zio is gone as far as I can tell both ziointeractive.com and ziosoft.com are registered to them but havent resolved to their website in almost a year. They did great stuff but I think they ran themselves into the ground by overpricing their conversions. I just dont think the pda market will bear console game prices for handheld games. I know that I wont pay them, I ended up with bejeweled 2 as a christmas present but frankly even it was overpriced. ZIO's stuff was the same price as a GBA cartridge but unless purchased in a store, didnt include any actual physical posession of the media. At about half the price, ($15 is around my limit) they could have probably had some of the first million seller titles on the Pocket PC but as is I dont know anyone who actually bought Sim City or Ultima. I did buy Zio Golf 2 a while back...on the clearance rack at bestbuy.
