Gizmondo on the rebound

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Apparently Gizmondo is making a second drive, this time taking an open-source approach.

I never managed to get my hands on one, I was waiting to see whether Gizmondo or the Tapwave Zodiac would reign supreme.

But in what seemed like a blink of an eye, both of them went under.

Well our friends at Kotaku are saying that Gizmondo are on the rebound, and looking to promote at the "grass roots" (comp sci, university) level.

Maybe I’ll get one after all…

On a separate, but not totally unrelated point, here’s a link to an article which discusses the "crash" that signaled the end of Gizmondo the first time around.

And if that whets your appetite, check out this further article about the suits behind Gizmondo 1.
