Gizmondo pre-orders break the half million mark following first TV commercialsPre-orders of the Gizmondo portable games console have reached 560,000 following the first airing of TV advertisements for the handheld device that "does almost everything except make toast".
The Gizmondo, made by Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc, has been partially overshadowed by the much publicised Nintendo DS and Sony PlayStation Portable portable games consoles, but has been tipped by many as a potential dark horse in the battle between the next generation of handheld games consoles.
The Gizmondo is powered by a Microsoft Windows CE.net platform, boasts a 2.8-inch TFT colour screen with a Samsung ARM9 400Mhz processor and incorporates the GoForce 3D 4500 Nvidia graphics accelerator. It provides cutting-edge gaming, multimedia messaging, an MP3 music player, Mpeg4 movie playing capability, a digital camera and a GPRS network link to allow wide-area network gaming. Additionally, it contains a GPS chip for location based services, is equipped with Bluetooth for use in multi-player gaming and accepts MMC card accessories.
