I had posted (at Techbits) earlier in the week that CompUSA was probably going to list the Zodiac for sale online a week before it hits retails shelves on the 24th...sure enough it got listed even earlier and sold out! I hope the Zodiac does a great job selling at CompUSA so other B&M businesses will open their eyes and start stocking this wonderful console on their shelves too!

They stated a few months ago they have no plans to offer any upgrade to Cobalt for the current Zodiacs.

This was just a temporary status that they put into their system. According to information I was given by Tapwave (and which I wrote about in a recent article), CompUSA will launch them in the stores on the 24th, but they were to be available on CompUSA.com the previous week (that's this week). So, if true, we should see them become available for sale on CompUSA.com today or tomorrow. 2) Information given previously indicated that Tapwave would be moving away from using Flash ROM in their Zodiacs (presumably in sync with their retail release). If true, an OS6 update would be impossible. Newer models that use OS6 could certainly be possible, but: a) Tapwave has indicated that they have no plans for new models this year. b) Tapwave is still focusing primarily on the gaming market and has indicated that ensuring backward compatibility with games is a high priority, something that could be jeopardized if switching to the latest OS. c) Tapwave has basically commented that OS6 is not a top priority. So, this is all either good news or bad news depending on your perspective. If you want a Zodiac but are concerned that it could be obsoleted sometime soon with a newer model Zodiac, don't be. If you're a geek that wants to have the latest and greatest version of the Palm OS, you may want to look elsewhere (likely palmOne).

If you move fast, you might even be able to save $10-30 on the cost: http://tapland.com/news_arc/?id=347 Scott __________________ Hey, I'm developing a virtual thumbboard app!

T1000X Captain of Confusion Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: South of Hell Posts: 816	Wow, now all I have to do is sell enough stuff so I can get a Zodiac. I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting for the Zodiac can hit retail so I can get the retail warranty on it. __________________ The life and times of an obsessed PDA owner; Visor Deluxe, N760C, T615, Compaq iPaq 3850, T665C, NR70V, SJ30, Tungsten \| T, NX70V, Tungsten \| C, TG50, Tapwave Zodiac 2.
