Gizza job

Is this the least surprising gaming news ever? Yes, Gizmondo Europe going into administration will shock absolutely no one although those (very) few punters who bought into the handheld console/sat-nav/thingummy will be cursing those lunchtime beers that fuelled their wayward purchases. There is probably a very good book to be written about this whole sorry saga, with dubious business practices a prominent feature. Having said that I predict there will be some sort of retro following for the Giz in the future as it did have some, ok one, redeeming feature - the sat-nav. Maybe in 2010 that boxed and sealed Giz that you picked up for cheap - has the London store shut yet? - could be worth more than it is now. The Gizmondo then, a flawed tech-experiment or a piece of woefully designed hardware with all the consumer appeal of an iced tea in Moscow?
