It was bound to happen. Pocket PCs have evolved over the past few years to where most high-end devices now ship with their own dedicated graphic accelerators and with more and more 3D games being made available as of late, it was only a matter of time before quality benchmarking tools would appear as well. Any serious PC gamers out there should immediately recognize Futuremark as a qualified expert in the field of 3D benchmarking. The question to me is whether Windows Mobile devices can ever seriously challenge the current players in the handheld gaming arena: Nintendo and Sony.

Not as long as Pocket PC manufacturers keep putting out Pocket PCs with controls and buttons arranged for business use. I haven't seen a good gaming Pocket PC in terms of controls since the Casio E-150 and EM-500.
