Successor
Former Gizmondo director Carl Freer announced in early 2008 his intention to relaunch the Gizmondo console as the Gizmondo 2 though this never appeared.
The original planned launch date was May 2008, but this was quickly pushed back to November 2008, along with details of a new company, Media Power, behind the launch, headed by Carl Freer and his Swedish partner Mikael Ljungman, with development apparently proceeding according to the new schedule at least until September. By December 2008, the console had still not appeared, and another announcement was made about a complete redesign as a Windows CE or Google Android powered smart phone.
Since then, the Media Power website has gone offline, co-founder Mikael Ljungman has been arrested and convicted of serious fraud, and nothing more has been announced about the handheld mobile console.
