I think ToTTenTranz may have a point. The pocket pc market is going to have to change radically in the next couple years if it is to be seen as a viable gaming platform, primarily since sony is about to invade the market with its playstation portable. This thing is purported to have gaming capabilities somewhere between a ps and ps2 - obviously it has hardware 3d rendering chips - and it has many other pda-like functions including high bitrate movie playback.

So I think this competition may well force ati and nvidia to incorporate 3d hardware into some pdas.

Obviously it should be remembered there will always be a market for the lowest power consuming pdas, so I doubt it will be a uniform change, unless the chips can be made very cheap and remain un-used by those who don't play games.

well, frankly, we will be having 3d in the form of playstation portable, and the pc market is rarely playing catchup for long so i'd expect ppcs to follow suit fairly soon.

I personally don't see the big fuss over 3D. I'd rather play a game of Sonic the Hedgehog than Crash Bandicoot anyday.
