Helix - Handheld Game Platform From Ex-Palm Staff

Posted by simoniker on from the helixicious-and-nutritious dept.

madopal writes "It seems Reuters is reporting that some ex-Palm officials have announced a new gaming platform called Helix. The company is called Tapwave, but there's nothing on their site yet." This article in the San Jose Mercury News has a few more details - apparently, the unit will even feature an analog joystick and trigger buttons, and with its Palm OS organizer functionality, is apparently aimed at an older, more crossover audience than the Gameboy Advance.

    Actually, that's a good idea - if for no other reason then to cause Nintendo to release a wireless game link cable. Or is there one already?

    I like my brother, and all, but I don't want to have to sit close enough to smell him when whooping him at F-Zero Advance.
