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.
Tomorrow we’ll see the first fresh MacBooks in almost a year, and likely the first all-new case designs since the arrival of the MacBooks—or before that if you’re a stickler, since the MacBook Pro is basically the same as the PowerBook G4, and the MacBook ain’t so different from the iBook G4.

Red’s Jim Jannard has told fans in the RedUser forums to “Wipe your minds of the past announced Scarlet. Forget the design and forget the price. It is all different now. We think you will be surprised.” In his words, “the market has changed and we have discovered a lot of things in the process. We have a new vision.” So it is not as though the Scarlet cam has been scrapped—what we are talking about here is a ground up redesign that should be a positive thing for consumers. That having been said, the RED EPIC is going to receive a similar treatment as well.
