I'm going to give it a couple of months before I get mine and use it for the GPS after which I'm sure it will turn into a collectors item

It will take it's place next to all my Gameparks, 3DO's and CDI's

My GP32 is still going strong and there is a big open source community.

Anyone remember the Tapwave Zodiac? That was a class piece of kit, but went the same as the Gizmondo thing.

my god that story is amazing. Just goes to show how far some people will take things to make a shed load of cash.

Have you checked into the GPS side of it mate ?

IIRC you needed the specific gizmondo gps unit at about £90 and you also needed to register for something.

Will they still be supporting it now the console is dieing?

Thats an amazing story, such a massive web of lie and corporate theft, it always did seem odd to me why they were marketing a machine that seemed doom to fail from the start.

Personally i don't understand how Tiger didn't look at the money they were spending and think hang on....this is costing us 350 million and we're not actually seeing much.

If its true then its massive corporate ignorance on Tiger's part, they deserve to go out of business if thats how they run.
