The Gizmondo is like an n-Gage phone without the phone. It plays mp3, movies, games, and takes pictures.
Problem: they've only sold 800 of them since launch. Not "only sold 800 thousand of them", but just 800.
Now to rectify this the company apparently threw a really big party spending tons of cash wooing investors, which has very little practical effect on the sale of the units.

Zaidenstrife, you mean zidanus1strifus? Hmmm, Zaidenstrife sounds cool I may adopt that one in other boards, or in this one if they perform a reset.
As for this book, thanks for the recommendation, I'll try reading it soon. For those interested in these kind of books, I'd like to add: Engines of Creation which I recently reread, and seems to be available for free here:http://www.foresight.org/EOC/.
PS With regards to Engines, I must add that I'd beg to differ on some of the technical aspects presented in it.

I will second the recommendation of 'Engines of Creation', I read it some years ago and whilst it seems rather fanciful in places, it does suggest some interesting directions that nano-technology might go. It also had a section on hyperlinking (which I guess was quite new when the book was written).
I did check out one of the guys other books out of the library, but it was more of a technical rather than the 'Pop science' book that Engines of Creation is.

Pagh, go read some Gibson or other cyberpunk stuff for the funner versions of the future. (I finally read the link.)
