A new US-based company called Tapwave have announced plans to release a new handheld gaming device for "Game Boy graduates" - 18 to 30-year old gamers who have been weaned on the Nintendo handhelds, but who are now looking for something with a bit more power and flexibility.
The Tapwave Helix was designed after asking Game Boy Advance gamers for their wish-lists of features for a portable gaming device, and also after speaking to developers about the kind of performance and features they'd expect from a new handheld.
Besides offering much more power than the GBA - early reports suggest that the Helix can easily pump out PSone-quality 3D environments - the Helix will also be capable of playing MP3s, displaying photos and pictures and even play certain video formats.
The Helix proudly sports an analogue stick, four face buttons and shoulder buttons. Running on a Motorola MX1 ARM9 processor and built around the Palm OS, the handheld also features graphics powered by an ATI chip and new audio chips from Yamaha. Other hardware features include Bluetooth and USB support, dual SD card slots, built in stereo speakers, built-in rumble, rechargable batteries and a headphone port. The unit will also feature a 64,000 colour screen that is slightly shy of 7 square inches in size.
Topwave already have support from a variety of software companies - including Activision, Infogrames (or should we now be calling them Atari?) and Midway. No pricing has been announced just yet, but the with the Helix expected to be released in the US before the end of the year, expect plenty more announcements soon.
