Gundam Network Game

For any gamers among you out there 'GNO Gundam' has been making the headlines over the last few days. Win CE Fan (Japanese) has good reviews and links to other sites. The reason for the headlines? Win CE Fan is saying this is the the first multiplayer network game for the Pocket PC. As PDAs (or phones) get more powerful and cheaper and fast mobile data network access more ubiquitous, I can see a huge market for networked, multiplayer games for mobile devices like this. If Nintendo aren't in the field already I'm sure they will be soon but I would guess that having a real operating system like Pocket PC on which to play the game offers a lot more potential than there would be on a gaming only device. Discussion welcome in the discussion group.
