In a surprising go of events , UK - based firm Plextek has confirmed today whatwe thought was unsufferable yesterday : they are working with Carl Freer to bring the infamous Gizmondo back to life . Knowing that the original Gizmondowas a front to con investor , do n’t hold your breath on this one . Things still look quite muddied and secret at the moment :

“ There are a few thing to do , and it will be a while before that happens , ” Plextek ’s technological director Ian Murphy said to gambling site Eurogamer , “ but yes , the product has been recoup from the liquidators and we are bring it back to marketplace . ”
Furthermore , Murphy said that he believes that the damned handheld will win this sentence because “ the only understanding Gizmondo was not a success last metre rung was because it was not fully brought into the market . ” He could have said that “ the only rationality Gizmondo was not a success last time round was because it was n’t paint in bright pink and decorated with lolcats ” and it would have had the same effect on us . Absolute puzzlement .
We are still asking ourselves the same question : How can anyone bear that a previously - fail , radical - hype product is going follow in a 2nd founding against all chance ? particularly , how is that going to go on when mighty and actually believable companies — like Nokia , Sega or Atari — have try and go bad miserably ?
And what ’s worse : how can any ship’s company get associated with a man that was convict for dupery in his teens ; fined more than a quarter million dollar sign in 2005 for make out rubber checks as a auto principal during the XC ; and arrested for illegal throttle possession and impersonating a legal philosophy enforcement agent this year in the US ? What is going to make thing different fromthe first fourth dimension ?
It all will remain a mystery for the time being . However , we stand up corrected : that company exists and they are going onwards with a program to come to a handheld console table that exploded in a puff of smelly smoke . [ PlextekviaEurogamer ]
