5 Conclusion
Game developers and architects providing support for the UMPC platform in
mainstream game offerings can develop a discrete set of design considerations
that address common issues that arise during the development process. The
best practices described in this document provide a foundation for that effort.
Because Windows-based UMPCs run a full version of the operating system, it
typically requires less effort to provide this support than a full port to a
separate operating environment. Thus, an incremental effort may expand a
game's market to include the expanding deployment of the UMPC platform,
providing a competitive advantage to the game software provider.
