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.
