RIP, Tapwave Zodiac

The official Tapwave site has officially declared the Zodiac deceased. Clock it, July 25th 2005.

I almost went with a Zodiac instead of the Zaurus, but the Zaurus was just so much cheaper that it was hard to pass up. The Zodiac's main problem is that it was ahead of it's time ... it would have been more suited in today's wifi-leaning digital media-mania than yesterday's pre-PSP who-wants-to-fight Nintendo world. A finely designed device, if not something of a misfit for the industry.

Zodiac, we hardly knew ye.
