Seems like this is a fatality the PSP is responsible for....
Appears that business wasn't good for Tapwave,The Zodiac Tapwave was both a PDA and a gaming device, that allowed multiplayer gaming over Bluetooth.
According to the Tapwave website:
We are sorry to inform you that the Zodiac business was discontinued and service and support are no longer available as of July 25th 2005.
Bluetooth should have been a winning factor in the success of this product.....but seems not.
