More info on failed 3D devices here...

If it's $200 and lasts three hours on a battery charge, then we've probably got another Lynx. (is that what is was called?

Believe it or not, display tech has progressed since the early 1990s.. The Lynx IIRC had a backlit passive color screen, while the even hoggier portable turbografx had a TFT. Lynx could run about 4-5 hours on a full nicad charge on its 6 AAs.

I owned both the original and extra crispy, and I was a big fan of both, until I 'got a life'..

I would definitely appreciate a phone with improved games, if only to pass the time on the ferry.. I can get seasick reading..

ACTION MAX

You can always understand why the people did it. Warner Brothers assured Nolan Bushnell he would still be in charge of Atari before they forced him out. Many of TSR's problems were caused by Gary Gygax's sneaky venture capital guys (not to mention his vindictive ex-wife and the widow of a former partner). Some of the people at the top of Infocom from the very start were only interested in big bucks and wanted to enter the lucrative business software field and leave games behind. The founders of Dragon thought they would have time and money to pursue other projects related to their interests.

Another thing, any company with a successful software product needs to be worried about embrace, extend and extinguish, not just from Microsoft, but from other big software companies. Look at Bleem! versus Sony. You'll always have to look over your shoulder for big, politically connected competitors with an unfair advantage in our mercantilist legal system. Money can help here, money can get you through frivolous lawsuits designed not to be won but to drain the life out of you. Money can even help you when your well-heeled competitors use pressure tactics at retail locations if they stock your product instead of theirs. Face it, in software or videogames and in most other businesses small only remains an option if you manage to remain under the big comglomorates and monopolists radar.

Even a small company can face a hostile take over if any of its operating or startup expenses come from outside sources.
