Mathers, we've got the scoop on the GPS capabilities of the Gizmondo, that new portable game console
coming out in Britain soon, as well as the video card that's going to be used in it:
With regard to the built-in GPS feature (i.e. the one that holds the unnerving power to broadcast the street-level whereabouts of its owner to other Gizmondos) we're pleased to report that the makers have foreseen the potential implications and will be implementing an age-verification system based around providing valid credit-card details in order for GPS tracking to be enabled. It has also emerged that the all-singing, all-dancing Gizmondo handheld will be powered by the nVidia GoForce 4500 chip. We're not quite sure whether this chipset was powering the device we had the chance to have a play with a while back. Review to follow soon.
