"When news emerged that total unknown Gizmondo was launching a handheld games device to compete with 20-year market incumbent Nintendo's DS and giant Sony's PSP, it was obvious they either had something miraculous to unveil, or were about to provide their investors with an object lesson in being stupid. With its perplexingly low-key product launch and perennially deserted Regent Street flagship store, it's clearly the latter. But unbowed by repeated and uniform failure, the company has announced a successor to its virtually-nil selling machine that will launch in 2006, provided Gizmondo can raise the $75m necessary to stay afloat that long. Your investment capital would be safer with the KLF and a box of firelighters."

Very droll, I thought.
 
To me, the whole thing didnt even seem like a gamble - it was doomed to faliure. Nobody knows about it apart from tech-heads and handheld lovers (man! that sounds dodgy!).

How was it ever supposed to get anywhere?
 
The Gizmondo did it all... halfassed. That should sum it up.

You can type with 1 hand. Nice. It must have taken a while.
