General Comments
Hi all, I am now on my 4th Gizmondo. As they don't seem to agree with me. I have it for about a week - then they just stopped loading up and hang on the Gizmondo logo screen.
I would say like most people I was very keen to get a Gizmondo and was very glad to hear there Flagship store was going to open about 5mins walk away from where I work.
To be honest - I am sadly upset with the Gizmondo as it seemed to offer the world - but has offered lots but all at poor standards. The device comes with Microsoft Active Sync, with which you are meant to use to transfer data EG Movies, music and stuff... but I am still yet to find someone who has put a film on there Gizmond Via active sync, the only way I have found is to put the SD card into a reader and copy it across.
I could go on and on about how bad it is but I would be here for weeks.
Let me just say - if you want an overpriced MP3 player then go for it - but if I was you I would save your money and go get a PSP when it comes out.
