Gizmondo Launching In Market, Featured At CES
Posted by Janak Parekh in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 08:00 AM
"Gizmondo Europe Ltd, subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc., today confirmed the company will be exhibiting the multi-entertainment device at the forthcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada...Gizmondo will be featured on the Microsoft Corp. stand, profiling the strengths of the Windows CE technology and onboard Windows Media Player. It will also be demonstrating the capabilities of the new GoForce 4500 3D graphics accelerator on the Nvidia stand, which lies at the gaming heart of the device."
We've posted on this before, and it's interesting to see it evolve and develop as it nears market. The unit is launching in the UK right now (the PR suggests North America and others in early 2005), so hopefully reviews hit the web soon. I'd love to see a Pocket PC designed in a form factor like this, but at least this might establish a foothold for CE gaming. Anyone know how the 3D accelerator in this device performs?
Update: Courtesy of engadget, here's a bunch of screenshots of the Gizmondo, with some "live". 8)
