That thing looks surprisingly like a watered down PSP. Look at the opening game slot in the back, the D-Pad, the wide screen, shoulder buttons, and the button diamond. hmmm.....]]>Feb 10th 2008 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/carl-freer-im-going-to-resurrect-gizmondo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/carl-freer-im-going-to-resurrect-gizmondo/the device uses sd cards the slot at the back your referring to is the battery compartment
also the gizmondo has never used a diamond button appart from concept image found on google..

"kids can create a game then download to their sdcard and play on the gizmondo"

Will kids go through the effort? Older gamers will stick to the DS or PSP...

Remember, that's a handheld, and one that came out 8 months before the 360, and a full 20 months before the PS3. Kinda makes Eye of Judgement look pale by comparison, don't you think?]]>Jan 24th 2008 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/carl-freer-im-going-to-resurrect-gizmondo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/carl-freer-im-going-to-resurrect-gizmondo/
It's amazing how few remember or know anything about what happened the first time. The crap this guy and Eriksson did in the business market and in Europe previously is enough to make a damn fine blockbuster movie. They both got off clean until Eriksson was caught red-handed in a sheared-in-half stolen Enzo from Europe and it had nothing to do with their businesses why he got busted at all was his own vanity and that's a miracle in and of itself.

Companies doing business with each other for millions owned by all the same group of people so it looked like they were spending money? Those businesses linked to off-shore bank accounts and transfers? Mafia style loans, assault, kidnapping, cocaine and Scarface posters? Importing in 3.8 million dollars in cars into the US that weren't even being paid for? (Bill Gates couldn't get a Porsche 959 into the states years ago...that he did pay for!) Creating mock government agencies to carry/purchase fire arms and government credentials? Gangsters as business Directors? Multi-Million dollar salaries...100k 'automobile budgets'? Buying a modeling agency to have hot women at high class parties and was one of the only companies that actually made money that they had? (Admittedly...that was a hell of an idea...) He might have jumped out of the relationship pre-Enzo crashing (sobbing) but really. 10 million dollar yacht and a 6.5 millon dollar house...I hope this time he realizes how lucky he really is for not being where Eriksson is...

You could read the Wired magazine article on it 5 times and still make your mind boggle.

Come to think of it..maybe I will write that movie script...anyone got the contact information for that modeling agency they got? Need some research.
