I have one of the new HTC Tytn's and while looking at it's specs (400mhz, 64mb built in storage, expandable via miniSD to 1gig...) I realized that it certainly competes with, if not outperforms, a PSP?

Has anyone at SI Games kicked around the idea of an FM iteration for the Pocket PC (windows mobile, etc.) platform? Virtually every PPC device has a stylus interface, which would be a lovely feature.

I won't pretend to know what the install-base is for PPC handhelds, but I *would* bet that Johnny-WhiteCollarGeek would love to manage his team whilst appearing productive in a meeting(tapping away at his Palm/Treo/Tytn versus holding a PSP:cool

What say you mates?

It's a brilliant idea and I'd love it, but I'm not sure enough PocketPC users would buy it.

Well I suppose it would just have to satisfy that magic software profitability equation...

is [cost of production] < [unit price] x [unit sales]

perhaps if a port from PSP to PPC was found to be relatively simple*, they could just build off of that

* - i'm almost positive it wouldn't be, i'm just tossing it out there

/waiting for Mr. Vaughan to show up... :cool:

I love the idea and it'd be feasible to implement for top end PPC's ....

Unfortunately however its unlikely to happen simply because the sales on such devices are generally fairly low.

I agree with Mark about the not selling enough, because there probably isnt many people with one that also have a love for fm.

Yeh most Pocket PCs are usually owned by the employer anyway and they wouldn't allow their employees to fill them up with games.
