Gizmondo is a new handheld which to be honest I don' t know all that much about but naturally I am going to tell you it' s great. I saw it on show at this year' s EGN and it has been very critically acclaimed by most people I know, it is overflowing with features and it plays movies, music, etc. take a look at their site. As for the name, I think it was originally going to be called Gametrac, but they couldn' t call it that since someone else owned a very similar name. More info from the Giz site: GAMING Gizmondo sets the standard for mobile gaming. With 400Mhz of processor power, a state of the art graphics chip from Nvidia and a huge, high resolution TFT screen, Gizmondo totally outclasses all other mobile gaming devices. Built-in GPS technology allows players to discover the true meaning of mobile gaming. Some of the most exciting, innovative and interactive experiences the gaming industry has ever seen are currently in development. High quality multi-level games can be installed through an SD card or downloaded remotely via the mobile phone network. Unlike other mobile gaming devices, Gizmondo puts you in total control with an eight-way D-Pad, left and right triggers and four face buttons. CAMERA An integrated digital camera allows users to capture and share moments with friends through Gizmondo' s MMS capabilities. These can be sent to both Gizmondo devices and other mobile handsets or PDAs. A ' My Friends' area in the Gizmondo device allows users to collect and store their friends' images. MUSIC The built-in Windows® multimedia MP3 facility enables users to download and enjoy their music on the move, in digital quality through the stereo headset socket. The device' s digital encryption technology uses digital handshake, restricted access and ' destruct at engagement' methods to prohibit piracy and theft. The operating system enables easy downloading of music files while Gizmondo' s integrated SD flash card reader lets users mix and store endless selections of music. Gizmondo' s unique Smart Adds system allows the music industry to deliver customized, feature-rich content via MMS. MOVIES Thanks to its Windows® CE operating system, Gizmondo has the most advanced video playback functionality ever seen on a mobile gaming device. The opportunities for feature-rich media are endless. Not only is it possible to view and send video clips like music videos or film previews, but enabling technology will eventually allow users to view entire feature films. Windows® Media Player 9 enables MPEG 4 video format viewing on Gizmondo' s high resolution TFT screen. There' s tonnes more, like Messaging, GPS, GPRS, Bluetooth, 2.8" LCD screen...
