I'll try to fight Giz's corner.

"Big and bulky" it is way smaller then the PSP and it has a much much better battery life. Something is vital for a mobile device. The PSP doesn't have enough juice to watch a movie. How will you watch you free Spiderman movie? In two separate sittings?!? The fact that it has a smaller screen enables it to fit in your pocket -unlike the PSP.

"Lack of games" since the OS is WinCE lots of software is automatically compatible. Games just need porting from their PC versions. In time if the devices is successful there will be more games for it then any console just because the cost of porting is so low.

"Lack of branded games" EA and Ubisoft are porting games as we speak. Fifa soccer:

The PSP games launch list was pretty barren of AAA titles too.

Price: PSP costs $250 USD, Gizmondo cost $430

GPS you can receive the position for free, transmitting does cost however. If you wanna go price a mapping GPS device it will cost you about 400.

GPRS: Yes is it very expensive now but that will come down with the introduction of 3G. It is just one of many features.

Ugliness: Ok the PSP is cooler but did you ever have a look at the DS?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AM
