Gametrac Handheld To Debut At CES

Thanks to 1UP for their story revealing that Gametrac's new portable gaming device will be publically shown at the CES show in early January. The portable, which runs on the Windows CE.NET operating system, has "...a 400Mhz ARM9 processor and 64-bit graphics accelerator... MPEG4 movie playback, MP3 audio playback, SMS and MMS text messaging, a high-resolution JPEG digital camera, plus Bluetooth 2 and GPRS wireless networking for short-range and long-distance multiplayer games." However, the article points out that "mention of any specific games" is a feature "conspicuously absent from Gametrac's announcement", but notes that at CES, the company promises "three titles on display, as well as the system's music player, text messaging system, and a new multimedia advertising system, 'Smart Ads'." We've previously mentioned early word of the Gametrac.

Just for curiousities sake, check out the Tapwave Zodiac. It seems to be picking up in the States where the GP32 left off.

Perfect if you're in the need for a PDA, and seems to have a good community of homebrew starting up not to mention 100's of good Palm OS games, and some prilimanary support from Sega for some old Genesis classics.

Here's a good place for more info

Spamming my game system

[rwrife]

What's the deal with the advertisements on the system?? I bet all they're going to do is send MMS or SMS spam to the system....assuming you have it connected to a GSM/GPRS network.
