I started checking out their site, but when clicking on one of their
links, about music, I got the the message cited below, i.e. I won't
have anything to do with a site which is promoting Microsoft in that
way, with unnessecary tests in their web scripts. I wrote the following
message to them:

Dear Dr Download,
I was checking out the www.gizmondo.com site and there was a link
to http://www.gizmondomusic.com/ which was redirected to
http://sib1.od2.com/common/configerror.asp?shop=60&associd=2&problem=not_ie
There I've met by the following message:
" The site you have tried to enter requires Internet Explorer 6 (or
better) with Windows Media Player 7 (or better) on Windows XP, 2000, Me
or 98. Click Here to use our Doctor Download application to help you
check your configuration alternatively Email Dr Download."
I'm not using Internet Explorer, I don't want to use Internet Explorer,
further on Internet Explorer is only available for MS Windows and
possibly Mac OS.
Why should you, with a bad test in your web-scripts like this,
exclude all people not running Internet Explorer, Media Player,
Windows etc.
I don't consider this your approach to be a serious one. Sites
behaving like this are harming themselves. I recommend you to
clean up your site.
