The '''Gizmondo''' is a [[handheld gaming console]] developed by Gizmondo Europe. Its development was led by Swedish entrepreneur [[Carl Freer]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Gizmondo Launch Brings London's West End to a Standstill - Press Release |url=http://spong.com/press_release/8481/Gizmondo-Launch-Brings-Londons-West-End-to-a-Standstill |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820132029/http://spong.com/press_release/8481/Gizmondo-Launch-Brings-Londons-West-End-to-a-Standstill |archive-date=2016-08-20 |access-date=22 January 2017}}</ref> who served as chairman of its parent company, [[Tiger Telematics]].

Powered by an [[ARM9]] processor, the Gizmondo had the usual features seen in handheld consoles of the time ([[Nintendo DS]], [[PlayStation Portable]], [[Nokia N-Gage]]) but notably also included a digital camera and a built-in [[GPS]] chip. Additionally, it also had [[mobile cellular]] connectivity, giving the ability to send [[SMS]] text messages and [[Multimedia Messaging Service|MMS]] picture messages (although no telephone capabilities), as well as browse [[Wireless Application Protocol|WAP]] webpages and [[email]] using its [[GPRS]] connection.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Contributor |first=Ellie Gibson |date=2005-03-21 |title=Gizmondo launches in the UK; Vodafone signs up to provide SIM cards |url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/gizmondo-launches-in-the-uk-vodafone-signs-up-to-provide-sim-cards |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=GamesIndustry.biz |language=en}}</ref> Software-wise, the Gizmondo runs on [[Windows CE]].<ref name=":2" /> First-party game studios were located in Sweden and England to develop video games for the system.

==Developmental and corporate history==
{{See also|Tiger Telematics}}
The Gizmondo was conceived by [[Carl Freer]], chairman of [[Florida]]-based [[Tiger Telematics|Tiger Telematics, Inc.]]<ref name=":0" /> Originally the plan was for a [[GPS]] child-tracking device before the idea turned into a game system.<ref name=":3" /> The device was originally called '''Gametraq'''. Tiger Telematics first published on their website in October 2003 about the device being developed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/tiger-telematics-inc-announces-a-new-joint-venture-to-develop-the-new-advanced-series-of-gametrac-products-71199157.html|title=Tiger Telematics, Inc.

[[File:Gizmondo on Regent Street.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The former Gizmondo store in Regent Street, London]]
[[London]]-based Gizmondo Europe Ltd. was formed and became the arm responsible for the game system.<ref name=":0" /> British Formula One driver [[Jenson Button]] appeared on magazine adverts for the Gizmondo,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://2or4.co.uk/2012/06/28/gizmondo-jenson-button-jordan-le-mans/ |title=Motorsport and Gizmondo didn't mix well – 2or4.co.uk – a motorsport blog |publisher=2or4.co.uk |access-date=2013-01-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130508144616/http://2or4.co.uk/2012/06/28/gizmondo-jenson-button-jordan-le-mans/ |archive-date=2013-05-08 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and also had his own licensed video game for the device, ''Chicane'', though it never released due to a dispute with Tiger Telematics and the developer of the game. In London's [[Regent Street]], Tiger Telematics threw a party with several celebrities invited to promote the device at the time of the March 2005 release. [[Busta Rhymes]], [[Jodie Kidd]] and [[Pharrell Williams]] were among the celebrities invited, of whom some performed. There were also two television adverts that aired after release. Also, in an attempt to promote the console, Gizmondo's executive [[Stefan Eriksson]] took part in the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] race of 2005 in a Gizmondo-sponsored [[Ferrari 360 Modena]] GTC. Overall, the Gizmondo had attracted much media attention and hype in Britain even before it was released.<ref name=":3" />
===Announcement of widescreen Gizmondo===
In September 2005, Tiger Telematics confirmed a redesigned Gizmondo model for release in 2006. It was intended to have a larger, 4" widescreen screen and upgrades like [[Wi-Fi]], TV-out support, an improved 480 × 272 pixel resolution, a 2-megapixel camera, and a 500 [[MHz]] processor.<ref>{{cite web |last=Rojas |first=Peter |date=2005-09-17 |title=Widescreen Gizmondo specs and pics |url=https://www.engadget.com/2005/09/17/widescreen-gizmondo-specs-and-pics/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121206031225/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/17/widescreen-gizmondo-specs-and-pics/ |archive-date=2012-12-06 |access-date=2013-01-14 |publisher=Engadget.com}}</ref> It also included tri-band [[GSM]] technology with [[voice telephony]], effectively making it a [[mobile phone]] too.<ref>{{cite web |date=19 September 2005 |title=Gizmondo goes widescreen - Hardware - News - HEXUS.net |url=http://hexus.net/gaming/news/hardware/1618-gizmondo-goes-widescreen/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202004400/http://hexus.net/gaming/news/hardware/1618-gizmondo-goes-widescreen/ |archive-date=2017-02-02 |access-date=22 January 2017}}</ref> It also featured new icons on the buttons. [[Carl Freer]] stated at the time of announcement that development of the revision was complete.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Widescreen Gizmondo on the way |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/widescreen-gizmondo-on-the-way/1100-6133653/ |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=GameSpot |language=en-US}}</ref>
The widescreen Gizmondo was announced just a few weeks before the U.S. launch of the Gizmondo, possibly prompting some potential customers to not buy the Gizmondo, and instead wait for the improved model, in an example of the [[Osborne effect]].<ref name="widescreen">{{cite news |date=2005-09-17 |title=Widescreen Gizmondo specs and pics |url=https://www.engadget.com/2005/09/17/widescreen-gizmondo-specs-and-pics/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071221180115/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/17/widescreen-gizmondo-specs-and-pics/ |archive-date=2007-12-21 |access-date=2007-11-23 |publisher=[[Engadget]]}}</ref> Tiger Telematics promised to show the device at [[Consumer Electronics Show|CES]] 2006 in January; however, it never appeared there.<ref>{{cite web |title=More woes for Gizmondo |url=http://www.gamespot.com/articles/more-woes-for-gizmondo/1100-6142505/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180725033220/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/more-woes-for-gizmondo/1100-6142505/ |archive-date=2018-07-25 |access-date=22 January 2017}}</ref> Shortly thereafter, Gizmondo Europe went bust and thus the new Gizmondo was never released.
=== Downfall and aftermath ===
The Gizmondo was further overshadowed when, in October 2005, Sweden's ''[[Aftonbladet]]'' revealed criminal pasts of several executives, causing their resignations including Tiger Telematics CEO Carl Freer. Gizmondo Europe's head [[Stefan Eriksson]] was involved in a Swedish criminal organisation, the "Uppsalamaffian" (the [[Uppsala]] mafia),<ref name=":3" /> while his fellow mafia friends Johan Enander and Peter Uf, both at key positions at the company, had spent time in prison for either fraud, grand theft or extortion.<ref name=":3" /> This occurred shortly before Gizmondo's American launch and by this time both Freer and Eriksson had moved to the United States, residing in [[Bel Air, Los Angeles]].<ref name=":3" />
In January 2006, Gizmondo Europe went into [[Administration (law)|administration]] (a British legal term similar to filing for [[bankruptcy]]) despite a loan from its parent Tiger Telematics, putting the system's future into doubt.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gizmondo Europe bankrupt |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gizmondo-europe-bankrupt/1100-6142801/ |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=GameSpot |language=en-US}}</ref> Failing to recover, the company was [[liquidated]] in February 2006 after amassing US$300 million (£160 million) debt, and the Gizmondo stopped production.<ref name=":1" /> Its UK and Sweden based development studios were also liquidated.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gizmondo Europe to be liquidated |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gizmondo-europe-to-be-liquidated/1100-6143823/ |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=GameSpot |language=en-US}}</ref> Liquidators also reported that they couldn't explain where "as much as half" of sustained net losses by Tiger Telematics (close to US$400 million) had gone to.<ref name=":3" />
Weeks thereafter Eriksson crashed a rare [[Ferrari Enzo]] driving at 260 km/h (162 mph) in California,<ref>{{cite web |last=Winton |first=Jeffrey Fleishman and Richard |date=15 May 2006 |title=Life in Fast Lane Long Before Ferrari Crash |url=http://www.latimes.com/local/la-fg-ferrari15may15-story.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170213234652/http://www.latimes.com/local/la-fg-ferrari15may15-story.html |archive-date=2017-02-13 |access-date=22 January 2017 |website=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> and was later jailed and subsequently deported for driving under the influence in connection with the crash and other criminal offenses.

===United States===
[[File:Gizmondo booth.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A booth selling Gizmondos in West Covina, California, November 2005]]
In the [[United States]], the Gizmondo launched much later, on October 22, 2005, with a line-up of eight titles, including ''Trailblazer''. Retail price was [[United States dollar|$400]] for a unit without "Smart Ads", or $229 for a "Smart Ads" enabled device.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gamertell.com/gaming/comment/gizmondo-portable-handheld-game-system-what-happened-to/ |title=What Happened To: The Gizmondo handheld game system |publisher=GamerTell |date=2010-05-24 |access-date=2013-01-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100727193430/http://www.gamertell.com/gaming/comment/gizmondo-portable-handheld-game-system-what-happened-to/ |archive-date=2010-07-27 |url-status=live }}</ref> It was available only at kiosks located in [[shopping malls]] throughout the U.S. (operated by National Kiosk, LLC, located in the western corner of North Carolina). Only 8 of the planned 14 [[game]]s were ever released in the U.S., along with no CoPilot GPS software, though the [[software]] was sold on the British site for a week or two. There was little to no [[advertising]], and some of their advertising was even put in magazines of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' ([[Nintendo]]'s official magazine). Plans to distribute the handheld through other retailers never materialized.
=== Smart Adds version ===
The "Smart Adds" system was intended as a way for advertisers to subsidize part of the [[cost]] of the unit. The apparent misspelling of the name was intentional and a trademark and company name were registered in the UK as "Smart Adds", though even Tiger Telematics occasionally slipped up and referred to it as Smart Ads in their publicity material.<ref name="smartaddstm">{{cite web |title=how not to spell gizmondo |url=http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=feuds-65 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110709011649/http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=feuds-65 |archive-date=2011-07-09 |access-date=2010-10-18}}</ref> A "Smart Adds"-enabled Gizmondo cost less ([[Pound sterling|£]]129/$229), but would display [[advertisements]] on the Gizmondo's screen at random intervals when the user entered the [[home screen]]. These advertisements would be downloaded via the device's [[GPRS]] data connection,<ref name="smad1">{{cite web |last=Caie |first=Martin |date=2005-04-15 |title=In-service advertising reduces price of Gizmondo |url=http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/news/i126443/In-service-advertising-reduces-price-of-Gizmondo/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924020627/http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/news/i126443/In-service-advertising-reduces-price-of-Gizmondo/ |archive-date=2015-09-24 |access-date=2015-08-27}}</ref> and would be [[behavioral targeting|targeted]] based on data inputted to the device. A maximum of three ads would be shown per day. Some ads would include special offers in the form of vouchers or barcodes, and some would utilize the device's [[GPS]] system to direct users to the nearest store carrying the advertised product.<ref name="smadvid">{{cite video |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVc6e1mCa1c |title=Gizmondo - all about smart ads |access-date=2016-01-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150708223446/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVc6e1mCa1c |archive-date=2015-07-08 |url-status=live}}</ref>
However, the "Smart Adds" service was never activated, and users who paid the reduced price for a "Smart Adds"-enabled device did not receive any advertisements through their device.{{Citation needed|date=August 2010}}
==Game library==
In addition to 14 games, a further 30 titles were known to have been in development for the system but all were canceled before their release due to Gizmondo Europe's bankruptcy. Also all games released in North America were effectively [[launch title]]s. There was also one non-game software, ''Gizmondo Navigator CoPilot 2006'', a [[satellite navigation software]] using the device's [[GPS]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2005-09-13 |title=Gizmondo Navigator |url=https://hexus.net/gaming/news/hardware/1599-gizmondo-navigator/ |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=HEXUS}}</ref>
Certain games were claimed to be capable of using "[[augmented reality]]", most notably the unreleased game ''[[Colors (video game)|Colors]]''. It was intended to be the first [[GPS]] video game, with the ability to track a user's real world movements in real time.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Contributor |first=GamesIndustry biz |date=2005-10-20 |title=Gizmondo announces US launch details |url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/gizmondo-announces-us-launch-details |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=GamesIndustry.biz |language=en}}</ref> Additionally several games including ''Gizmondo Motocross 2005'', ''[[Hockey Rage 2005]]'', and ''[[Sticky Balls]]'' had [[Bluetooth]] multiplayer features.

Former Tiger Telematics chairman [[Carl Freer]] announced to a Swedish newspaper in November 2007 his intentions for a new Gizmondo, and said there were already 35 games in place, a manufacturing base in [[Shenzhen]], China, and that he hoped the handheld would retail at US$99.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gpsbusinessnews.com/Gizmondo-back-from-ashes_a499.html|title=Gizmondo, back from ashes?|first=Ludovic|last=Privat|access-date=22 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202001005/http://www.gpsbusinessnews.com/Gizmondo-back-from-ashes_a499.html|archive-date=2017-02-02|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.realtid.se/carl-freer-talar-ut-i-realtidse-0|title=Carl Freer talar ut i Realtid.se|date=13 November 2007 |access-date=22 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160827215506/http://www.realtid.se/carl-freer-talar-ut-i-realtidse-0|archive-date=2016-08-27|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.realtid.se/ArticlePages/200711/13/20071113094753_Realtid421/20071113094753_Realtid421.dbp.asp |title=Carl Freer startar om Gizmondo |publisher=[[Realtid]].se |date=2007-11-13 |language=sv |access-date=2008-01-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090901031541/http://www.realtid.se/ArticlePages/200711/13/20071113094753_Realtid421/20071113094753_Realtid421.dbp.asp |archive-date=2009-09-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://sandberghans.blogspot.com/2008/01/carl-freer-starts-over-with-gizmondo.html |title=English translation: Carl Freer Promises to Resurrect Gizmondo |access-date=2008-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080127104808/http://sandberghans.blogspot.com/2008/01/carl-freer-starts-over-with-gizmondo.html |archive-date=2008-01-27 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The '''Gizmondo''' is a [[handheld gaming console]] developed by Gizmondo Europe. Its development was led by Swedish entrepreneur [[Carl Freer]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Gizmondo Launch Brings London's West End to a Standstill - Press Release |url=http://spong.com/press_release/8481/Gizmondo-Launch-Brings-Londons-West-End-to-a-Standstill |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820132029/http://spong.com/press_release/8481/Gizmondo-Launch-Brings-Londons-West-End-to-a-Standstill |archive-date=2016-08-20 |access-date=22 January 2017}}</ref> who served as chairman of its parent company, [[Tiger Telematics]].

Powered by an [[ARM9]] processor, the Gizmondo had the usual features seen in handheld consoles of the time ([[Nintendo DS]], [[PlayStation Portable]], [[Nokia N-Gage]]) but notably also included a digital camera and a built-in [[GPS]] chip. Additionally, it also had [[mobile cellular]] connectivity, giving the ability to send [[SMS]] text messages and [[Multimedia Messaging Service|MMS]] picture messages (although no telephone capabilities), as well as browse [[Wireless Application Protocol|WAP]] webpages and [[email]] using its [[GPRS]] connection.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Contributor |first=Ellie Gibson |date=2005-03-21 |title=Gizmondo launches in the UK; Vodafone signs up to provide SIM cards |url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/gizmondo-launches-in-the-uk-vodafone-signs-up-to-provide-sim-cards |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=GamesIndustry.biz |language=en}}</ref> Software-wise, the Gizmondo runs on [[Windows CE]].<ref name=":2" /> First-party game studios were located in Sweden and England to develop video games for the system.

[[File:Gizmondo on Regent Street.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The former Gizmondo store in Regent Street, London]]
[[London]]-based Gizmondo Europe Ltd. was formed and became the arm responsible for the game system.<ref name=":0" /> British Formula One driver [[Jenson Button]] appeared on magazine adverts for the Gizmondo,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://2or4.co.uk/2012/06/28/gizmondo-jenson-button-jordan-le-mans/ |title=Motorsport and Gizmondo didn't mix well – 2or4.co.uk – a motorsport blog |publisher=2or4.co.uk |access-date=2013-01-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130508144616/http://2or4.co.uk/2012/06/28/gizmondo-jenson-button-jordan-le-mans/ |archive-date=2013-05-08 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and also had his own licensed video game for the device, ''Chicane'', though it never released due to a dispute with Tiger Telematics and the developer of the game. In London's [[Regent Street]], Tiger Telematics threw a party with several celebrities invited to promote the device at the time of the March 2005 release. [[Busta Rhymes]], [[Jodie Kidd]] and [[Pharrell Williams]] were among the celebrities invited, of whom some performed. There were also two television adverts that aired after release. Also, in an attempt to promote the console, Gizmondo's executive [[Stefan Eriksson]] took part in the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] race of 2005 in a Gizmondo-sponsored [[Ferrari 360 Modena]] GTC. Overall, the Gizmondo had attracted much media attention and hype in Britain even before it was released.<ref name=":3" />
===Announcement of widescreen Gizmondo===
In September 2005, Tiger Telematics confirmed a redesigned Gizmondo model for release in 2006. It was intended to have a larger, 4" widescreen screen and upgrades like [[Wi-Fi]], TV-out support, an improved 480 × 272 pixel resolution, a 2-megapixel camera, and a 500 [[MHz]] processor.<ref>{{cite web |last=Rojas |first=Peter |date=2005-09-17 |title=Widescreen Gizmondo specs and pics |url=https://www.engadget.com/2005/09/17/widescreen-gizmondo-specs-and-pics/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121206031225/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/17/widescreen-gizmondo-specs-and-pics/ |archive-date=2012-12-06 |access-date=2013-01-14 |publisher=Engadget.com}}</ref> It also included tri-band [[GSM]] technology with [[voice telephony]], effectively making it a [[mobile phone]] too.<ref>{{cite web |date=19 September 2005 |title=Gizmondo goes widescreen - Hardware - News - HEXUS.net |url=http://hexus.net/gaming/news/hardware/1618-gizmondo-goes-widescreen/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202004400/http://hexus.net/gaming/news/hardware/1618-gizmondo-goes-widescreen/ |archive-date=2017-02-02 |access-date=22 January 2017}}</ref> It also featured new icons on the buttons. [[Carl Freer]] stated at the time of announcement that development of the revision was complete.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Widescreen Gizmondo on the way |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/widescreen-gizmondo-on-the-way/1100-6133653/ |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=GameSpot |language=en-US}}</ref>
The widescreen Gizmondo was announced just a few weeks before the U.S. launch of the Gizmondo, possibly prompting some potential customers to not buy the Gizmondo, and instead wait for the improved model, in an example of the [[Osborne effect]].<ref name="widescreen">{{cite news |date=2005-09-17 |title=Widescreen Gizmondo specs and pics |url=https://www.engadget.com/2005/09/17/widescreen-gizmondo-specs-and-pics/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071221180115/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/17/widescreen-gizmondo-specs-and-pics/ |archive-date=2007-12-21 |access-date=2007-11-23 |publisher=[[Engadget]]}}</ref> Tiger Telematics promised to show the device at [[Consumer Electronics Show|CES]] 2006 in January; however, it never appeared there.<ref>{{cite web |title=More woes for Gizmondo |url=http://www.gamespot.com/articles/more-woes-for-gizmondo/1100-6142505/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180725033220/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/more-woes-for-gizmondo/1100-6142505/ |archive-date=2018-07-25 |access-date=22 January 2017}}</ref> Shortly thereafter, Gizmondo Europe went bust and thus the new Gizmondo was never released.
=== Downfall and aftermath ===
The Gizmondo was further overshadowed when, in October 2005, Sweden's ''[[Aftonbladet]]'' revealed criminal pasts of several executives, causing their resignations including Tiger Telematics CEO Carl Freer. Gizmondo Europe's head [[Stefan Eriksson]] was involved in a Swedish criminal organisation, the "Uppsalamaffian" (the [[Uppsala]] mafia),<ref name=":3" /> while his fellow mafia friends Johan Enander and Peter Uf, both at key positions at the company, had spent time in prison for either fraud, grand theft or extortion.<ref name=":3" /> This occurred shortly before Gizmondo's American launch and by this time both Freer and Eriksson had moved to the United States, residing in [[Bel Air, Los Angeles]].<ref name=":3" />
In January 2006, Gizmondo Europe went into [[Administration (law)|administration]] (a British legal term similar to filing for [[bankruptcy]]) despite a loan from its parent Tiger Telematics, putting the system's future into doubt.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gizmondo Europe bankrupt |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gizmondo-europe-bankrupt/1100-6142801/ |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=GameSpot |language=en-US}}</ref> Failing to recover, the company was [[liquidated]] in February 2006 after amassing US$300 million (£160 million) debt, and the Gizmondo stopped production.<ref name=":1" /> Its UK and Sweden based development studios were also liquidated.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gizmondo Europe to be liquidated |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gizmondo-europe-to-be-liquidated/1100-6143823/ |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=GameSpot |language=en-US}}</ref> Liquidators also reported that they couldn't explain where "as much as half" of sustained net losses by Tiger Telematics (close to US$400 million) had gone to.<ref name=":3" />
Weeks thereafter Eriksson crashed a rare [[Ferrari Enzo]] driving at 260 km/h (162 mph) in California,<ref>{{cite web |last=Winton |first=Jeffrey Fleishman and Richard |date=15 May 2006 |title=Life in Fast Lane Long Before Ferrari Crash |url=http://www.latimes.com/local/la-fg-ferrari15may15-story.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170213234652/http://www.latimes.com/local/la-fg-ferrari15may15-story.html |archive-date=2017-02-13 |access-date=22 January 2017 |website=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> and was later jailed and subsequently deported for driving under the influence in connection with the crash and other criminal offenses.

==Release and lifetime==
Gizmondo soft launched on 29 October 2004 following TV teaser commercials in Europe and the opening of global [[Pre-order|preorders]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Contributor |first=GamesIndustry biz |date=2004-12-02 |title=Tiger Telematics' Gizmondo Pre-Orders Surge |url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/tiger-telematicsrsquo-gizmondo-pre-orders-surge |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=GamesIndustry.biz |language=en}}</ref> Gizmondo was released in the [[United Kingdom]] on 19 March 2005, priced at £229,<ref>{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4361847.stm | work=BBC News | title=Gizmondo gadget hits the shelves | date=2005-03-19 | access-date=2010-06-20 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081229151914/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4361847.stm | archive-date=2008-12-29 | url-status=live }}</ref> with only one game, ''[[Trailblazer (video game)|Trailblazer]]''. It was available from the Gizmondo flagship store on [[London]]'s [[Regent Street]], via Gizmondo's online shop, and other high-street and online retailers such as [[Argos (retailer)|Argos]], [[Dixons (UK)|Dixons]], [[Currys]], [[John Lewis (department store)|John Lewis]], although it was never clear how many units were actually introduced into those retail channels. The SMS service of the Gizmondo enabled people to send messages by pre-pay [[SIM cards]] from [[Vodafone]] bundled in with the device.<ref name=":2" /> The Gizmondo sold 1000 units within an hour of launch. In April, a month after the initial release, a variant of the console with GPS-assisted "Smart Adds" advertising enabled was released with an [[Suggested retail price|RRP]] of £129.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/13/gizmondo_smart_adds/ |title=Gizmondo unveils 'adverts-for-consoles' scheme |publisher=The Register |access-date=2013-11-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140505052720/http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/13/gizmondo_smart_adds/ |archive-date=2014-05-05 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="hexus.net" />
The company said that it would roll out to the rest of Europe starting from 19 May 2005,<ref name=":5">{{Cite web |date=2005-04-19 |title=Europäische Handelseinführung des Tiger Telematics(R) Gizmondo(TM) angekündigt |url=https://www.presseportal.ch/de/pm/100005805/100489037 |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=presseportal.ch |language=de}}</ref> including [[Germany]], [[France]], [[Italy]], [[Spain]] and [[Nordic countries]].<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last=News |first=games ch-Aktuelle Gizmondo |date=2005-04-19 |title=Gizmondo - Preis und Deutschland-Termin |url=https://www.games.ch/2245-gizmondo/news/preis-deutschland-termin-xQ/ |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=games.ch |language=de}}</ref><ref name=":0"/><ref>https://www.gamer.no/artikler/gizmondo-kommer-til-norge/14943</ref> Its stated price in Germany was 349 euros, or 189 euros for the Smart Adds version.<ref name=":4" /> Confirmed retailers for distribution include [[Virgin Megastores]] in France and [[Karstadt]] in Germany.<ref name=":5" /> However, this date passed by without it being released for undisclosed reasons.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Matthias |first=von |date=2005-05-19 |title=Gizmondo Wo ist er denn? › News › DemoNews |url=https://www.demonews.de/games/news/gizmondo-wo-ist-er-denn/ |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=www.demonews.de |language=de-DE}}</ref> Gizmondo only received a limited release that year in [[Sweden]], launching with both Smart Adds and normal units available, and rather than opening flagship stores Gizmondo Europe relied on established retailers such as Webhallen.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}
By September 2005 the device had still not been released in Europe outside of Britain and Sweden.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Matthias |first=von |date=2005-09-12 |title=Gizmondo Der 05.09. ist vorbei… › News › DemoNews |url=https://www.demonews.de/games/news/gizmondo-der-05-09-ist-vorbei/ |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=www.demonews.de |language=de-DE}}</ref> A French gaming journalist reported that staff at the London flagship store claimed a French release by Christmas, writing in December 2005 that this looked like it wasn't going ahead. The journalist claimed that contacts stated to him that European stocks of the Gizmondo were instead used to supply the American release.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Et la Gizmondo alors ? |url=https://www.jeuxactu.com/et-la-gizmondo-alors-12465.htm |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=JeuxActu |language=fr}}</ref>
===United States===
[[File:Gizmondo booth.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A booth selling Gizmondos in West Covina, California, November 2005]]
In the [[United States]], the Gizmondo launched much later, on October 22, 2005, with a line-up of eight titles, including ''Trailblazer''. Retail price was [[United States dollar|$400]] for a unit without "Smart Ads", or $229 for a "Smart Ads" enabled device.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gamertell.com/gaming/comment/gizmondo-portable-handheld-game-system-what-happened-to/ |title=What Happened To: The Gizmondo handheld game system |publisher=GamerTell |date=2010-05-24 |access-date=2013-01-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100727193430/http://www.gamertell.com/gaming/comment/gizmondo-portable-handheld-game-system-what-happened-to/ |archive-date=2010-07-27 |url-status=live }}</ref> It was available only at kiosks located in [[shopping malls]] throughout the U.S. (operated by National Kiosk, LLC, located in the western corner of North Carolina). Only 8 of the planned 14 [[game]]s were ever released in the U.S., along with no CoPilot GPS software, though the [[software]] was sold on the British site for a week or two. There was little to no [[advertising]], and some of their advertising was even put in magazines of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' ([[Nintendo]]'s official magazine). Plans to distribute the handheld through other retailers never materialized.
=== Smart Adds version ===
The "Smart Adds" system was intended as a way for advertisers to subsidize part of the [[cost]] of the unit. The apparent misspelling of the name was intentional and a trademark and company name were registered in the UK as "Smart Adds", though even Tiger Telematics occasionally slipped up and referred to it as Smart Ads in their publicity material.<ref name="smartaddstm">{{cite web |title=how not to spell gizmondo |url=http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=feuds-65 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110709011649/http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=feuds-65 |archive-date=2011-07-09 |access-date=2010-10-18}}</ref> A "Smart Adds"-enabled Gizmondo cost less ([[Pound sterling|£]]129/$229), but would display [[advertisements]] on the Gizmondo's screen at random intervals when the user entered the [[home screen]]. These advertisements would be downloaded via the device's [[GPRS]] data connection,<ref name="smad1">{{cite web |last=Caie |first=Martin |date=2005-04-15 |title=In-service advertising reduces price of Gizmondo |url=http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/news/i126443/In-service-advertising-reduces-price-of-Gizmondo/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924020627/http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/news/i126443/In-service-advertising-reduces-price-of-Gizmondo/ |archive-date=2015-09-24 |access-date=2015-08-27}}</ref> and would be [[behavioral targeting|targeted]] based on data inputted to the device. A maximum of three ads would be shown per day. Some ads would include special offers in the form of vouchers or barcodes, and some would utilize the device's [[GPS]] system to direct users to the nearest store carrying the advertised product.<ref name="smadvid">{{cite video |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVc6e1mCa1c |title=Gizmondo - all about smart ads |access-date=2016-01-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150708223446/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVc6e1mCa1c |archive-date=2015-07-08 |url-status=live}}</ref>
However, the "Smart Adds" service was never activated, and users who paid the reduced price for a "Smart Adds"-enabled device did not receive any advertisements through their device.{{Citation needed|date=August 2010}}
==Game library==
In addition to 14 games, a further 30 titles were known to have been in development for the system but all were canceled before their release due to Gizmondo Europe's bankruptcy. Also all games released in North America were effectively [[launch title]]s. There was also one non-game software, ''Gizmondo Navigator CoPilot 2006'', a [[satellite navigation software]] using the device's [[GPS]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2005-09-13 |title=Gizmondo Navigator |url=https://hexus.net/gaming/news/hardware/1599-gizmondo-navigator/ |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=HEXUS}}</ref>
Certain games were claimed to be capable of using "[[augmented reality]]", most notably the unreleased game ''[[Colors (video game)|Colors]]''. It was intended to be the first [[GPS]] video game, with the ability to track a user's real world movements in real time.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Contributor |first=GamesIndustry biz |date=2005-10-20 |title=Gizmondo announces US launch details |url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/gizmondo-announces-us-launch-details |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=GamesIndustry.biz |language=en}}</ref> Additionally several games including ''Gizmondo Motocross 2005'', ''[[Hockey Rage 2005]]'', and ''[[Sticky Balls]]'' had [[Bluetooth]] multiplayer features.

==Successor==
Former Tiger Telematics chairman [[Carl Freer]] announced to a Swedish newspaper in November 2007 his intentions for a new Gizmondo, and said there were already 35 games in place, a manufacturing base in [[Shenzhen]], China, and that he hoped the handheld would retail at US$99.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gpsbusinessnews.com/Gizmondo-back-from-ashes_a499.html|title=Gizmondo, back from ashes?|first=Ludovic|last=Privat|access-date=22 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202001005/http://www.gpsbusinessnews.com/Gizmondo-back-from-ashes_a499.html|archive-date=2017-02-02|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.realtid.se/carl-freer-talar-ut-i-realtidse-0|title=Carl Freer talar ut i Realtid.se|date=13 November 2007 |access-date=22 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160827215506/http://www.realtid.se/carl-freer-talar-ut-i-realtidse-0|archive-date=2016-08-27|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.realtid.se/ArticlePages/200711/13/20071113094753_Realtid421/20071113094753_Realtid421.dbp.asp |title=Carl Freer startar om Gizmondo |publisher=[[Realtid]].se |date=2007-11-13 |language=sv |access-date=2008-01-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090901031541/http://www.realtid.se/ArticlePages/200711/13/20071113094753_Realtid421/20071113094753_Realtid421.dbp.asp |archive-date=2009-09-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://sandberghans.blogspot.com/2008/01/carl-freer-starts-over-with-gizmondo.html |title=English translation: Carl Freer Promises to Resurrect Gizmondo |access-date=2008-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080127104808/http://sandberghans.blogspot.com/2008/01/carl-freer-starts-over-with-gizmondo.html |archive-date=2008-01-27 |url-status=live }}</ref>

</p><p>The <b>Gizmondo</b> is a <a href="/wiki/Handheld_gaming_console" class="mw-redirect" title="Handheld gaming console">handheld gaming console</a> developed by Gizmondo Europe. Its development was led by Swedish entrepreneur <a href="/wiki/Carl_Freer" title="Carl Freer">Carl Freer</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> who served as chairman of its parent company, <a href="/wiki/Tiger_Telematics" title="Tiger Telematics">Tiger Telematics</a>. The device was originally launched on 19 March 2005 in Britain;<sup id="cite_ref-launch_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-launch-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> although releases in other European territories were planned for 19 May,<sup id="cite_ref-:0_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> this never occurred, and it instead only received a limited release in Sweden. It also had a limited release in the United States in October 2005. The Gizmondo was produced and marketed until 2006 when Gizmondo Europe was <a href="/wiki/Liquidation" title="Liquidation">liquidated</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Powered by an <a href="/wiki/ARM9" title="ARM9">ARM9</a> processor, the Gizmondo had the usual features seen in handheld consoles of the time (<a href="/wiki/Nintendo_DS" title="Nintendo DS">Nintendo DS</a>, <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_Portable" title="PlayStation Portable">PlayStation Portable</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nokia_N-Gage" class="mw-redirect" title="Nokia N-Gage">Nokia N-Gage</a>) but notably also included a digital camera and a built-in <a href="/wiki/GPS" class="mw-redirect" title="GPS">GPS</a> chip.

<p>The "Smart Adds" system was intended as a way for advertisers to subsidize part of the <a href="/wiki/Cost" title="Cost">cost</a> of the unit. The apparent misspelling of the name was intentional and a trademark and company name were registered in the UK as "Smart Adds", though even Tiger Telematics occasionally slipped up and referred to it as Smart Ads in their publicity material.<sup id="cite_ref-smartaddstm_41-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-smartaddstm-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A "Smart Adds"-enabled Gizmondo cost less (<a href="/wiki/Pound_sterling" title="Pound sterling">£</a>129/$229), but would display <a href="/wiki/Advertisements" class="mw-redirect" title="Advertisements">advertisements</a> on the Gizmondo's screen at random intervals when the user entered the <a href="/wiki/Home_screen" title="Home screen">home screen</a>.

A maximum of three ads would be shown per day. Some ads would include special offers in the form of vouchers or barcodes, and some would utilize the device's <a href="/wiki/GPS" class="mw-redirect" title="GPS">GPS</a> system to direct users to the nearest store carrying the advertised product.<sup id="cite_ref-smadvid_43-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-smadvid-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Former Tiger Telematics chairman <a href="/wiki/Carl_Freer" title="Carl Freer">Carl Freer</a> announced to a Swedish newspaper in November 2007 his intentions for a new Gizmondo, and said there were already 35 games in place, a manufacturing base in <a href="/wiki/Shenzhen" title="Shenzhen">Shenzhen</a>, China, and that he hoped the handheld would retail at US$99.<sup id="cite_ref-63" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-63"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>63<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-64" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-64"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>64<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-65" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-65"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>65<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-66" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-66"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>66<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
