A while back, I wrote a column on how Microsoft had passed Nintendo to become number two in the gaming scene. In that column, I covered what Microsoft was doing to chase the clearly dominant player in the console-gaming market. That dominant player was and is Sony. In handheld gaming, the landscape is very different. Sony and Microsoft haven’t even entered this segment yet, and the only other handheld gaming platform is PalmSource. The PalmSource software is on a third-party device called the Tapwave Zodiac, which I have to admit is cool, even though I have my doubts that Tapwave will be around long after Sony enters this segment.
