Thinking of the PSP ? You would be wrong, this is the Gizmondo – a neat looking mobile gaming device based on Windows CE 4.2 – Just think of the possibilities when you combine games with GPS positioning – this from the Gizmondo site – The GPS in the Gizmondo opens the door to location-based games, taking the multi-player experience to a new dimension. For example, in our urban warfare game 'Colors', you are actually playing in the street you are walking down, in the real world, against competitors in streets all around you. Look over your shoulder, do you see anyone else engaged in combat?

Technically speaking, in local-based games your position is being mapped in real time by the GPS - as well as the other players' positions in the vicinity. But you don't have to worry about what is happening under the shell. All you need to know is that the Gizmondo world isn't like any other.
