ATI Touting 3D Gaming Chip For Cellphones

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday January 7, 2004 @04:18AM from the can-i-fit-a-voodoo-3-in-there? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to their website, ATI have just announced a new 3D game-orientated chip specifically designed for cellphones. The Imageon 2300 'offers the first hardware 3D graphics implementation in the handheld space... [and] also represents the first OpenGL ES 1.0 compliant device on the handheld market'." The ATI release mentions "...that wireless gaming is on the rise and will generate USD $1 billion in wireless gaming revenue by 2006 for wireless carriers in the United States", and it's interesting to note the TapWave Zodiac Palm-based gaming device already has an earlier ATI Imageon chip in it.

Sir, I'm afraid your sequence is incomplete:

1. Loading..... loading...... Loading...... Loading.......
2. ???
3. *throws phone on the ground*

I believe the correct sequence is:

1. Loading..... loading...... Loading...... Loading.......
2. (battery runs out)
3. *throws phone on the ground*

Stupid crap. Can't wait for Seti@phone.
