Gizmondo 2 – Kiss of death for Android?

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Wow! I bet with all the not-so-great publicity Android and the HTC Dream has already received the Google guys are really pleased to have the backing of gaming giant Gizmondo! Phandroid amongst others have covered this. From reports the Gizmondo 2 is erm… exactly like the old Gizmondo except with a new battery and video chipset. It will apparently come in two flavours – Android or Windows CE.

I guess it proves the point that Android can be used as a basis for anything from phones to set top boxes but if you wanted the blessing of a successful name in the gaming industry then Gizmondo isn’t the first one that would naturally spring to mind.
