Gizmondo, Hopelessly Doomed

Matt Maier is taking a might bat at the Gizmondo, which despite being a sweet looking feature packed device might find going tough in the long run. All those B-List celebrities might not be able to save the device that runs on Microsoft .CE operating system. Business 2.0: Nokia’s launch of the N-Gage didn’t go well. All right, it was an unmitigated disaster. The N-Gage survived the near-lethal blow, thanks mainly to Nokia’s deep pockets. A soon-to-be-released all-in-one gaming device called the Gizmondo may not be so lucky.
