Tapwave kills the Zodiac

We already knew Tapwave were hurting, but as of two days ago they've officially killed off the Zodiac, that line of Palm-powered gaming handhelds they introduced a couple of years back. The Zodiac never really ever caught on — you can argue about why, but at the end of the day there's no denying that pimping a new portable game console ain't easy unless you're Sony or Nintendo (you can ask Tiger Telematics or Nokia all about that). Tapwave was supposedly repositioning the Zodiac as a multimedia device (which they were going to develop for OEM partners or something along those lines), obviously that didn't exactly work out.
