I've never heard of the Gizmondo...you almost sounded like this guy that swung by here a while ago and tried passing off his imaginary product. I looked this thing up though. At least I know it's real!

Welcome to the boards

The Gizmondo is a real product...I think it could have been huge...bad marketing among other things killed its chance.

The cost was enormous from what I saw. I was interested though.

I don't know if anybody actually saw on the news but the original CEO just pocketed most of the money for himself and quit. Back this past January he crashed his Enzo Ferrari in Santa Monica, CA. Apparently it didn't belong to him but to some bank in Sweden, so the FBI is out looking for him since he was able to escape from actual police custody.

The reason he escaped is a long story. So you guys can try to look it up if you want.

Why must you always present us with these intriguing mysteries,and then leave us to our own devices to uncover the truth...its almost as if you want us to "grow" in someway,and learn to rely on our own detective skills...So I will take up this case Creepin...but I want you to know...I am not happy about it!

I would of loved to have explained it for you. Lots of twists and head scratchers. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to explain everything. But don't worry the story is pretty interesting.
