Hi CD-I/All,

I knew of the German connection, as CD-I very kindly asked me a while ago if he could use some of my guides on his site.

Once had look around, found his site very interesting and good.... (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

However, (appologies) didnt check back there until now.... and WOW!!! Good interview.... prolly the most we have heard Carl speak so far.....

Admittedly, he is still very dark horse about the whole affair, and guess will be until October. I just hope its gonna be as big and sucessful as they think its gonna be. And to be honest, if its handled correctly this time around, it has every reason to be big. Sure people knock it now, but they are comparing the likes of the technology back then to the likes we have today. C'mon, give Giz a chance, it came out far ahead of its compettiers.... it had ideas that even the current systems STILL dont have today... so what, they can be bought and added latter at a extra cost and size difference.

Gizmondo, if you do the right things there is still a market for you guys..... JUST DONT MESS UP!!!!!

Cheers,

Lister

i think the end of october is where hes pointing the attention to so sit tight i guess till then

[GizmondoCentral]

Some interesting bits here, most notably;
They won't have big volumes until Q2 2009...so are they talking hundreds or thousands until then?
Games will be download only, support seems lacking 'some bigger names MAY join'...seems unlikely as he doesn't sound confident himself.
Not even sure about releasing the old Giz games on Giz2....What?! again its 'not sure yet' more unclear information....
About the 2 versions of Giz....'yes we are HOPING to have 2 versions'....hoping? only 2 months to launch and its unclear again if they will get either version? sounds promising.
More stuff for old fans....well the old games seem out of the question...so maybe a free old carry case!?
Mention touchscreen...'can't say anything until specs'...could imply a touchscreen....which would put it direct competition with the new Wiz handheld.
Improved GPS aerial.
Improved camera megapixel.
So some good and not so good bits of info, I'm just hoping from mid October all these doubtful things are sorted and confirmed.

On the OS side, There was only ever going to be WinCe 6.0.. Android was never set in stone to be complete.. If they can get Android out on time, I'll definatly look into getting that OS, if its not ready in time for launch, its no biggie! (for me personally)

I think Carl being ''not sure'' with the old games, is this, If GizStudPrez does own the Ip to some of the old games, Carls answer would be 'not sure'' especially as hes gotta negotiate with GSP to get the rights back.. At least thats what id say it was down too.

more stuff for old fans could literally mean anything. Even a free old carry case!! lol. But if its free and has a Gizmondo logo on it, Im not complaining.. (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Im in agreement with you on the hoping things are cleared up and confirmed, Though didnt i read that the website was mid October, an the full specs were end of October?

[sloth1991]

This is a nice chunk of news. Looking forward to the end of this month! (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/whistle.gif)

[Cbadds]

Interesting stuff indeed... Just have to wait for the full specs now (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[sloth1991]

Wheres the update!? ahhh I have been on here each and every da since te first waiting. (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/pullhairmj4.gif)

[Trevsweb]

end of the month is when they said :/ sadly they havent been in contact since my last email. so far theyre not doing a good job of advertising yet.

[GizMyDoh]

sloth, your probably better off not coming on here lol. At least not every day. Thats why it seems so long.

Kev

Well as long as they're not using the last advertising effort as their model!!! anything would be better than that :S

[Lister Of Smeg]

Hi CBadds,

Anything better than NOTHING!!! then I take it...?? lol

Yeah, c'mon Carl baby.... get posting on the web, start ya advertising sooner rather than later, if ya want this to take off, and with a launch so close to Xmas ya want people to be talking about it sooner rather than later.

And bearing in mind, this can only be bought over the web and not in the stores, those who wonna by pressies for their children arnt so much gonna look around the web for something their dont even know or looking for exists....

So start with those ANNOYING pop ups, or plastered on various website/pages, get the Giz name noticed again..... its better to be in ya face, than not heard at all.... if the product is that good, it will sell itself. If its badly marketed, but is higher spec than others and goes un-noticed will be a sad fate of justice again.

So get ya marketting team buzzing.... then ya can work on ya retail side line... (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Haha nice

[Lister Of Smeg]

Hi CD-I,

I think I have seen this, or summit very like it before.... although its good seeing it again, as I did forget about it....

But what I wonna know is how can summit like this exist...?? I mean, the casing is EXACTLY the same as the Gizmondo albiet the new 2x buttons in the bottom... but the rest is the same. Have they blatently stole the pattern, or did they buy the rights to use the same shell (think not). It is so odd.....
