I wonder how often game oriented PDAs fail simply because they're seen as nothing more than expensive Gameboys. Perhaps they'd be more successful if they were billed as an "intuitive-interface PDA which also happens to be bundled with some games that demonstrate how intuitive the interface is".
Instead they call it a gaming device, which rules it out for boardroom purposes ala "...Watson! Is that a gameboy?! At work?! You're fired! Snively, why don't you show us how marvelous your paper-based organizer is."
The truth of the matter is that one of the problems with PDA's is that they're often difficult to use without a stylus, and PDAs like th Tapwave have buttons that could be utilized to resolve that problem. Ultimately they should be the better business oriented PDA... but they aren't, and marketing puts them in an oxymoronic no-man's land when they call it a game-playing device that doubles as a PDA.
