The Gizmondo was designed to compete against the Nintendo DS and Sony's PSP. The handheld was created by British-based Tiger Telematics, founded by Swedish-born Stefan Eriksson. Unlike the DS and PSP, you could not buy the handheld or its games at stores - you had to buy them online or at mall kiosks.

Only 25,000 Gizmondo handhelds were sold in the US and UK, and the console was discontinued in less than a year after Tiger Telematics filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy (part of which may have been related to Eriksson being linked to the Swedish mafia following an accident involving him driving his Ferrari way too fast).

In 2008, director Carl Freer announced a "Gizmondo 2" handheld was in the works for his new company Media Power, but nothing has since come out of it.
