Although you are clearly trolling, it's hard to resist replying to you.
I agree that the GBA shouldn't fear the Zodiac. No adult is going to give their kid a $400+ PDA to tote around. My eight-year-old daughter totes a GBA SP.
On the other hand, I am buying a Zodiac for myself. I would not carry a game machine around with me. However, I need a PDA and I like the Zodiac's specs, and I love the gaming functionality. I may buy one for my wife. It makes a nice graduation present as well.
What makes the Zodiac special is that it is not necessarily a gaming console. I intend to use it in my medical practice. The gaming is just a bonus. As are the mp3s and the videos that you can rip to easilt fit on SD cards. Last time I checked, you can't watch a full-length movie at 480x320 res on the GBA. However, you can fit several on a properly equipped Zodiac.
I think that the Zodiac will especially appeal to commuters and others with occasional downtime who need a PDA. Your rabid defense of the GBA superiority has left you blind to the real purpose and intended audience of this device.
