After the nudge the other day i was finally treated to an opticians test today with the sneek peek of the new Gizmondo website! Unfortuntly the above joke was real the sneek peeks of the website are tiny so much so no real detail is given, appart from a general idea of what is to come.

As you can see fans of spiderman may think of venom on first look as Rich explains
“Center shape is an orb that changes and mutates as it spins…when each button is pressed, the assembly stretches, extends and rebuilds itself.. ENJOY!!!”

Granted a first look all be it a tad late as Gizmondo do but somewhat dissapointing “Sneek peek” as it doesnt show much detail just of their art style. No information is availible of who is producing the website or what is on there but i’m sure we will fill you in on the next update.

Will this be the art style Gizmondo chooses for their new shell/OS? looks good but we shall see in the future.

ENJOY!!!

Ok not clock stopping news here but enough to warrant you to stop and read this bit of news just in.

With the rumors of the Gizmondo 1.5 swimming round the aspect of battery life is still a key objection. this however in an unsuspecting move has been addressed with this comment from Carl Freer.
