Wired has an excellent article that I just loved reading:
http://wired.com/wired/archive/14.10/gizmondo.html?pg=1&topic=gizmondo&topic_set=If this were a screenplay for a movie, you'd laugh about how corny it was.
When Eriksson crashed the Enzo, I saw it on the local L.A. news (I have driven on that stretch of the PCH countless times, so it piquied my interest). The news programs actually reported on this Ferrari crash on several successive nights, but they never mentioned GIZMONDO in any of the brief segments!!!! I wish they had
.
First it made the news simply because of the Enzo getting ripped in half. Then it made the news because police thought the whole story Eriksson was feeding them didn't quite add up....
-----------------
I would love a companion article to explain if anyone (besides Carrender?) actually had faith in the Gizmondo as an actual video game device?
Regardless, it was fascinating to follow all the twists and turns in this story.
On the one hand:
Who'd have thunk that a GPS "child-monitoring device" would evolve into Gametrac / Gizmondo?
On the other hand:
The story of Tiger Telamatics / Gizmondo reads like many a dot.com fiasco.
