Wired's story on Gizmondo, the gadget company fronted by Swedish con artist Bo Stefan Eriksson, has been optioned to be made into a film.

The six of you who have been following Gizmondo know that a new version was promised for this Christmas season. But surprise, surprise: it's been delayed due to economic instability and general crappiness.

We'd heard rumors that the Gizmondo 2 would be running Google's Android OS, and the company has now confirmed it to be true (Windows CE is the other optional OS). Available this winter, the Gizmondo 2 is a lot like the original Gizmondo but has a better battery and newer Nvidia chips inside. You like how we mentioned…

Not only is Gizmondo coming back, Carl Freer says you can expect to see a new version of the handheld console by the end of the year—this time without the whole defrauding investors and crashing Ferraris schtick, supposedly.

In a surprising turn of events, UK-based firm Plextek has confirmed today what we thought was impossible yesterday: they are working with Carl Freer to bring the infamous Gizmondo back to life. Knowing that the original Gizmondo was a front to defraud investors, don't hold your breath on this one. Things still look…

We received half a dozen tips earlier today from our Svenska readers talking about "Gizmondo coming back." The story went from a vague November 2007 quote by ex-convict Carl Freer into a morning internet craze, all fueled by a flash animation in a domain registered through an anonymous service. A bit of fact checking,…

In case you still cared about the Ferrari crashing, money embezzling, portable gaming device making Gizmondo exec, Stefan "Fat Stefan" Eriksson has just been set free from jail. If you're worried that he'll be back up to his old ways, driving around roads tearing cars in half, he's now awaiting transport to either…

A sad, sad person in Fort Worth, Texas somehow ended up with 15 Gizmondos and is ready to pass the awesomeness of the Gizmondo on to you. This thing can do GPS, media playback and other stuff, but it is most famously linked to one tore-up Enzo. Fifty bones isn't bad for a GPS device, but good luck with tech support if…

Spending $2,000,000 for a booth display in 2003, which is now for sale at an asking price of $110,000. As for their tagline of "I can do anything"? Not quite.

One of the biggest, and most controversial stories of the year was the downfall of the Gizmondo and the CEO and his busted up Enzo.. (That is Gizmondo, not Gizmodo.) What a better way to wrap up the year with the complete story behind the Gizmondo, how it got to the way it was and the tragic downfall. Simon Carless,…

Friend, editor, and Super Trooper impersonator, Rob Capps put together this fantastic investigative summary of the high drama Bo Stefan Eriksson and the Gizmondo crew ran into this Spring. The fantastic art, by comic artistJae Lee is stellar, too. The reporting and writing was done by Randall Sullivan, Rolling Stone…

Here we go again. Bo "Stuckey" Stefan Eriksson is pleading not guilty to seven felony charges—including three counts of embezzlement, three counts of grand theft auto, and drunken driving. Dietrich is no longer a figure in the case. He must have returned to his glorious homeland, snickering into his wide, majestic…

After all the notoriety and commotion surrounding the failed Gizmondo company, someone is trying to sell Gizmondo mobile gaming consoles, and the scary part is, there will probably be someone eager to buy one. True, it does have a GPS device and mp3 player inside, but there won't be any new games available for the…

The wheels of divine justice are still turning, friends, because Bo Stefan Eriksson—his first name is Bo (!!)—will stand trial for crashing his Enzo—or allowing Deitrich to crash his Enzo—into a n embankment.

Lord, this boy just doesn't know when to quit. After folding his Enzo into origami, Stefan Eriksson, former Gizmondo exec, has lost his Mercedes SLR McLaren. The car, which wasn't registered in the U.S., was impounded by Beverly Hills police because Eriksson's wife was driving without a license.

Stefan Eriksson, Gizmondo executive with links to organized crime, crashed his 2003 Ferrari Enzo into a light pole while racing through Malibu, destroying the limited-edition car as thouroughly as he dashed the hopes of thousands of Gizmondo fanboys.

Gizmodo is hardly the type to gloat, but with regard to the news that handheld game maker Gizmondo Europe has gone into liquidation, we'd just thought we'd say this one thing: One-and-a-half years ago, we so called it.

Oh boy, those folks over at Gizmondo HQ are getting knee deep in some drama. If you recall yesterday we posted the translation describing Gizmondo exec's involvement with Swedish baddies and money. These criminal convictions have been officially revealed as two Gizmondo execs, Carl Freer and Stefan Eriksson,…
