Big Long Shot

Ziosoft says they are close to releasing Age of Empires for the PPC. Would it be possible for you guys to make an agreement with them to develop it for OS 5? I want it so bad!

Bad enough to play it on a Pocket PC ?

To be honest, ZIO has engineers good enough to port it to OS5 ARM enhanced Palm OS, and do a reasonable job. (They couldn\'t do it on existing Palms, I don\'t think, but I\'d be surprised if they\'d be interested in using us just for that).

I\'ll contact them about it. Don\'t hold your breath though, Roman ;)

First, off it is probably around 2 - 3 A.M. Right now your time! Thanks for taking the time to contact them, i wasn\'t even expecting that. I tried to hold my breathe but i couldn\'t hold it for more than a minute ;)

Ziosoft, already makes ports to Palm OS, but they are poorly made, and in my opinion, not worth the price tags!

Yes, we have already discovered Jesus here does not sleep ;)

lol. massman, when is os 5 coming out, do you know?

[Massman82]

OS 5 technically is already out, but a device with it isn\'t. Wait a week to a month!

[Howard]

OS5 went GM (\"Gold Master\" - i.e. finalised) a couple of months ago.
We\'ve been using OS5 roms for quite some time before that. All of our apps are now OS5 stable.

What you really want to know is, when will OS5 hardware be available?

Anyone that knows firsthand is under NDA and won\'t tell you. Anyone who knows from \"a reliable source\" may or may not know, but given that the \'reliable source\' will have broken an NDA to give away information, they wouldn\'t be exactly what I\'d call reliable, so you can\'t trust them as far as you can spit a rat. :) Always amuses me when leaks are attributed to a reliable source :)

Enjoy speculating!

[Massman82]

Always gotta keep us in suspense!!! Will it be this will it be that? I need to know this stuff. NR90? How about an X-Scale model? I hate the \"NDA\"!!!

[Massman82]

Please tell us the good or bad news about AOE!!

Ok maybe I am holding my breathe.

[Massman82]

I\'m guessing you still don\'t know about AOE?
