The Bottom Line	The Zodiac is a slick multimedia Palm and portable gaming device, but its success will depend on its game library.	The Zodiac is a slick multimedia Palm and portable gaming device, but its success will depend on its game library.	The Palm TX offers a winning package of wireless connectivity, productivity tools, and fun for users of all kinds.	The Gizmondo is packed with impressive features, but its lack of compelling games will relegate it to niche-product status.
