The new Gizmondo handheld console went on sale on Saturday in the U.K., eight days after the competing Nintendo DS broke records with its own launch.
Running on the Windows CE operating system, the new gadget packs more features in than just gaming, allowing users to watch movies, download music and take digital photos.
The extra features the Gizmondo has over the DS and Sony's PSP (to be released in the U.K. in June), are a GPS system for multiplayer gaming and a phone service from Vodafone that allows email, text and multimedia messaging.
The other competitor to Gizmondo to come with telecommunications capabilities is the Nokia N-Gage, which includes a fully-functional phone as well as a gaming console.
The Gizmondo will launch in Ireland on 19 April, followed by a roll-out to other European markets.
