Gizmondo’s Prospects: A Serious Alternative To DS And PSP?

The Gizmondo combined media player, phone and gaming gadget went on sale in the UK yesterday. The device sports an impressive spec: – It can be used to play games, music tracks and movies, iIt can take and store digital photos and can send SMS, MMS and emails, GPS, GPRS and Bluetooth for multi-player gaming

I really can’t see the Gizmondo having a big following for the following reasons:

• It costs £229. Nintendo’s DS handheld went on sale on last week for £99 costs, and a PSP is expected to cost £129 – far less than the cost of a Gizmondo
• The DS already has a pool of fans of earlier Nintendo handhelds to draw on (87,000 DS handhelds were sold in the first two days in Europe) and the PSP is also likely to have a strong following

Maybe in a year I’ll be proven wrong.
