Gizmondo
We’ve got a real soft spot for the Gizmondo here, given the failed handheld shares our name, more or less. Like a lot of tech advertising in the early aughts, the Gizmondo is nowhere to be seen through most of this ad from 2005. Instead, slick CG of a bumblebee in an aeronautical research lab joins a narrator explaining that bees shouldn’t actually be able to fly based on the size of their wings, but do anyways. But it wasn’t wing size that prevented the Gizmondo from soaring to success: a lack of games and loads of corporate drama did that.
