Very small number of available games, lies and incompetence - this is what Gizmondo is about.


Yes, it is powered by Microsoft's Windows CE operating system (the same that is a core OS of Windows Mobile) but we...

And what about your utterly incompetence!
You don't even understand what you mention in this news, your mind is just triggering for two or three words like Windows Mobile 5.0, UMTS or Podcast.
For example if you had taken time to read even Gizmondo press release, this network, based on GPRS, is of a private kind (at least logically), allowing Tiger Telematics to offer specific services on it and creating opportunities for another revenue stream.
It doesn't mean that the console is good or bad in itself; it does mean that this network as a special purpose and that you didn't saw it. And hopefully you didn’t saw too that the OS is based on Windows CE 4.x…
The world is not made as a technical blueprint, try to understand that.
I hope you’ll try to enhance the mediocre level of the news part of your site.

For me it is enough that super expert Peter Rojas from Engadget says that this console - Gizmondo - is utterly bad. However please note that I am looking at world from the mobile phone point of view and since this console lacks mobile phone functionality altogether I don't like it no matter what other features it has.

Though its not a mobile phone so why are you trying to look at it from that point of view. The PSP is not a phone either so from your point of view thats crap too.

... but PSP has no GPRS and Gizmondo has GPRS. So why not to go one tiny step further and why not to put phone in it?

I trust in opinions of Peter Rojas - he is an experienced gamer and even nowadays he plays games a lot and is even being invited to all console launches, press conferences, etc.

LMAO I really think MSM is either playing a joke on us all, or perhaps he's got a touch of the "Mike Corley"s

Either way, I know that when my company releases its first Windows Mobile products, I'm going to take out litigation insurance so I can get rich off any liablous remarks Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Evil or Very Mad
most products that come to market are usually created by other mobsters and god knows who -
Gizmondo is a f******** cool console as the gaming potential through GPS interactive is so much more than the xxxxx PS2

Bring on Colours that is all I have to say ....
