Functionality and specifications
The Gizmondo includes a GPS module for in-car navigation which could also be used to track player movement in real-time for multiplayer games. The Gizmondo also contains a VGA camera mounted on the rear of the device. It can send SMS/MMS messages and email and can play MP3/WAV/MIDI music, WMV/MPEG4 videos and a variety of 2D/3D games. The Gizmondo can play games, music tracks and movies, take and store digital photos and be used like a mobile phone to send text, multimedia and e-mail messages. It lacks the ability to send or receive voice calls.
The phone service to enable people to send messages is being provided by pre-pay Vodafone accounts bundled in with the device. It can also access the Global Positioning System for use as a navigation aid. There were plans to support a variety of location-based services, for example. GPRS and Bluetooth wireless connections were intended to provide multiplayer gaming.
