Tapwave Zodiac Games For Rent
In a business model that is so simple it just makes sense, CrazySoft is renting out downloads of their addictive games for Zodiac and other PalmOS units. For approximately three dollars, you can download the full version of a game for rental. Instead of tacking a time limit on how long you can play the download, CrazySoft is letting you start the game up to 50 times as part of the rental agreement. Ok, big deal, sounds like shareware right? Well, here’s the catch, and it’s a good one: if you end up enjoying a game so much that you “rent” it 5 times, you automatically get the full license and no longer need to “rent” that game. This business model makes sense for open source systems like the Zodiac and I imagine will be effective. Too bad it won’t catch on with more mainstream systems.

Well, there is an original Tomb Raider game headed for it in 2005. It’s a Palm Pilot with a bit of hefty muscle to it. So, it can play it’s own games.. and umm.. hehe.. emulators.. but you didn’t hear that. You heard “candy” not.. emu.. yeah.
