Gizmondo Europe Goes Bankrupt!

[JaFFa]

Last Tuesday, independent handheld-maker Tiger Telematics made a last-ditch effort to shore up the finances of its struggling British subsidiary, Gizmondo Europe Ltd., with a short-term loan of $5 million. Today, it appeared the company had secured the loan--but not in time to save its UK arm from bankruptcy.

Cant say im surprised but its always sad to see a company go norks up. O well, maye its time to buy one for future rare-ness to sell on ebay ?

Gizmondo had some nice features, but realisticly without a super graphics power to wow people it was destined for failure.

It can display speed camera locaions officially. They even had a deal with ford according to their website.

Does seem to be £199 for a sat nav one, pretty hard to find mind you. Doesnt it have a fairly poweful spec? An nvidia gpu and a 400mhz Arm 9. Thats pretty high spec really.

The DS has an Arm 9 running at 67mhz ! plus an arm 7 running at 33mhz.

But I guess its not what you do its the way that you do it.
