Gizmondo's new features - fad or trend?
I found an article on the Register today that says that if you aren't happy with the price tag of the new Gizmondo, there is a way to get it cheaper - quite substantially cheaper. for a 100 pound discount (because it's only available in the UK and I don't have that symbol on my keyboard) you can get the same Gizmondo handheld but you have to agree to receive 3 ads per day.
That's right, they will serve you advertisements (supposedly highly targeted to you based on the info you provide when you buy the console).
You can read the Register's viewpoint here.
I wonder who's going to be next? My bet is M$ and their future console. If they can server GPRS enabled adverts, you can bet they can serve them via the web connection on your Xbox
