Widescreen Gizmondo specs and pics

[wraggster]

Not sure why they thought it’d be brilliant to officially announce a new version of the Gizmondo before the first one has even gone on sale here in the States, but Tiger Telematics have released some concept images and more details of that new widescreen version of their Gizmondo portable game console they “accidentally” revealed the other day. The specs feel a bit fanciful (we’ve seen these guys overpromise and underdeliver before), but according to their press release this new version will be a bit more PSP-like and have a 4-inch widescreen, 480 x 272 pixel LCD (which Tiger Telematics helpfully describes as being “razor-sharp”), built-in 802.11b/g WiFi, at least a 500MHz processor, GSM/GPRS, GPS, an SD card slot, an analog TV-out port, Bluetooth, USB On-The-Go, and a built-in two megapixel digital camera. Should be out in Q2 of 2006.

ooooooooooh. its pretty... It appears a bit bulky in size for a handheld. a 500mhz processor easily makes this the most powerfull gaming handheld EVER... but it may very well make this the most pricy also.. also bugging me isthe fact that this widescreen gismondo will have differant specs then the original gizmondo... stupid idea really... but it worked for the gp32 eh?

OT: i can recall another wide screen handheld displaying fish in its pre release pics

wow i love portables but who is going to make games for this
i herd the price will be 239.00 usa dollars for it but thats with those ads or like 400.00 without the ads. and why would you tell the world about this now when the first gizmondo hasnt even come out yet in the states. why not just wait intill you have the widescreen ready sound like another n-gage or tapwave too me i guess time will tell but i dont see this finding a home with sony and nintendo out there i hope im wrong the more systems the better
