Talk:Gizmondo

message: This page currently reads a bit press releasy, probably because that's how it started. At what point do you think we should start mentioning the suspicious business practices on the page? It's only rumours for now of course. . . Coyote-37 15:30, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's a bit beyond rumours now - it could just be another sad case of a young, hopeful company running aground, but there's always Occam's razor... ;-) --HiddenInPlainSight 15:39, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I believe the Gizmondo is nearly a flop since it is not yet released in local department stores, not to mention its loss of fanbase due to already-played games being ported to it. --Nintendude 15:32, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

text: I'm sure it has a 128bit graphics card from Nvidia, so that probably qualifies that remark? 194.46.233.183 20:46, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Press release

message: I figured I'd be bold and rewrite and clean up the article. The biggest diffrence is I updated the article to reflect the situation with the Gizmondo: that the system is no longer a current retail product and that it is now a historical or collector's item. I realize that die hard Gizmondo fans will disagree with me, but let's please discuss it. MadDreamChant 18:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Rewrite

message: Please don't add more info about Stefan to this article unless its directly related to Gizmondo. He has his own article that should be expanded instead.--Hooperbloob 15:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I’ll admit, I don’t know what key mapping is. So to those of you knowledgeable about such things: does this information belong in the article? If it doesn’t, it should be deleted or moved. If it does, some sort of explanation or definition of key mapping should be included in that section. MadDreamChant 15:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Key Mapping

message: This article may be factually accurate, but the grammar and sentence structure are horrible.
:The beauty of Wikipedia is that anyone can contribute to the articles. That means people who know about the topic can add information, and people well versed in grammar and sentence structure can help out with that. So I encourage you to be bold and correct any errors you find. Also keep in mind that because Gizmondo is a European company, many of the contributors to this article are not native English speakers.  BTW, you can sign your comments by typing four (~).

thread_title: Poorly Written

message: Why is there no mention of its Windows CE 4.2 operating system and other hardware specs?  That is quite important if you ask me.Tfgbd 17:51, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Windows CE 4.2

message: Almost the entire page is taken from this article (and I think some of it from the follow-up article linked to at the bottom of the page): 
The wording for all but the Halo and Fansite sections and a few smaller sections is exactly the same.  I don't want to do anything now, in the off chance that I'm mistaken, but we need to completely rewrite the page. -Unknownwarrior33 07:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyright Infringement 

message: I really think that the GoForce 4500 does not have programmable pixel shader support. At first inspection my unit supports little more than OpenGL|ES common 1.0 - Anyone else agree? Then I'd argue to change that. 131.159.40.64 07:41, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the nvidia's specifications of the goforce 4500/4800 the 4xxx series does support programmable pixel shaders. Although I am not sure if the drivers are actual made to support them. Source: [[[User:Tedades|Tedades]] (talk) 08:58, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Functionality and Specifications 

message: The article states that links of Homebrew Gizmondo sites are contained below, but none are listed.
Also, it seems like a lot of the info on company shennanigans does not reference actual information sources...

message: :Image:Gizmondo (logo).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Gizmondo (logo).jpg

message: This page has changed dramatically from the last time I visited; in fact the whole section on business practices and bankruptcy of Tiger Telematics has been removed. Surely, as this information was not available on a separate Wiki article about the company itself, it is relevnt and should be re-entered?

thread_title:  Looks like the Gizmondo is back 

message: I added the "Carl Freer buys IPR Assets" paragraph at the bottom of the Bankruptcy section a few days ago but Fugu Alienking removed it as he thought the letter, hosted on sharenow.com was a forgery. I invited him to call the telephone numbers on the letter (from one of the joint liquidators) and I also e-mailed him the contact details of the legal firm dealing with this matter, so that he could see it wasn't a forgery - Carl Freer really has bought the IPR Assets of Gizmondo Europe. Fugu Alienking said he would make his own independent enquiries. I tried to contact him twice to ask how he was doing but received no reply so I have reinstated my paragraph. Have a look at this article too - totally independent from the press releases I was sending out: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/685439/Gizmondo_is_Coming_Back.html Johnalexwood (talk) 09:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: John, you are engaging in paid PR in violation of Wikipedia's NPOV policy. This "press release", if genuine, would be listed in the news section of Begbies Traynor's website, not posted as a low quality scan on a file sharing site. Does anyone really use such a low quality fax/scanner these days, or is the low quality to hide flaws in the forged document? I have made my own enquiries, and Begbies Traynor's only response is that they "do not comment on ongoing investigations", which is inconsistent with this release being genuine. As for the third party who you referred me to via email; firstly, I see no reason to believe that LG Legal has any connection to this, so it might well be someone acting in collusion with you who has been instructed to claim that the letter is genuine. Secondly, why have you been sending me private emails instead of discussing your additions to this Wikipedia article here? The other article does not support the authenticity of what you posted. It merely restates the pending relaunch of Gizmondo, which is already covered elsewhere in this Wikipedia article.  --Fugu Alienking 11:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Carl Freer buys IPR Assets 

message: I've heard some reports about an upcoming "Gizmondo 2." Supposedly the company has contracted with a factory to resume production of a updated Gizmondo. Right now I don't think there's enough evidence that it will actually happen to warrant mentioning it in the article, but I thought we might want to start gathering references like this one and this one. -- MadDreamChant (talk) 06:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears someone has created a separate article for it. I am going to be bold and merge it here, as it is currently devoid of non-speculative content. --Fugu Alienking (talk) 12:43, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
