Tapwave Taps Out
Silicon Valley based maker of Zodiac Palm OS gaming handheld quietly closes shop as of July 25, leaving only a note and lots of potential questions for current owners.
As has been reported by several other technology news sites Tapwave, the makers of the never quite made it to the big time Zodiac Palm OS handheld, has folded shop. While much of the information related to the gaming focused PDA remains on the company’s web pages, a note dated from July 25 and displayed on their front page reads as follows:
We are sorry to inform you that the Zodiac business was discontinued and service and support are no longer available as of July 25th 2005.
Resources that may still be helpful to you can be found at http://www.tapwave.com/resources and http://www.tapwave.com/support. This includes links to websites where you can find a variety of useful tips and information as well as purchase e-books, Audible books and magazines, Palm OS applications, Zodiac skins, and third party Tapwave Certified games.
Additional products, acessories, and game cards may still be available from COMPUSA, Fry’s, and J&R while supplies last.
We thank you for your past interest and support and apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. If you have an outstanding claim with the company, Ueker and Associates will be contacting you shortly.
Sincerely,
The Tapwave Team
While it is not entirely clear at this point why Tapwave closed up shop, they were never able to make market penetration the way they had hoped for.
