The blog, launched in 2002, was originally edited by Peter Rojas, but he was recruited by Weblogs, Inc. to launch their similar technology blog Engadget. By mid-2004, Gizmodo and Gawker together were bringing in revenue of approximately $6,500 per month.
In April 2007, Allure Media launched Gizmodo Australia, under license from Gawker Media and incorporating additional Australian content.
In February 2011, Gizmodo had a major redesign met with a strong dislike by current commentators of the site.
A Gizmodo blogger captured the first photos from the floor of CES 2007, and according to Reuters, journalists at the (simultaneous) Macworld debated whether Gizmodo or Engadget had the better live coverage of Steve Jobs' 2007 keynote.
A videographer for Gawker Media, Gizmodo's publisher, disrupted several presentations held at CES 2008 by secretly turning off flatscreen TVs using TV-B-Gone remotes. This resulted in the videographer, Richard Blakeley, being barred from CES 2008, and any future CES events.
In April 2010, Gizmodo came into possession of what was later known to be a prototype of the iPhone 4 smartphone by Apple, Inc.. The site purchased the device for USD $5000 from Brian J. Hogan, who found it unattended at a bar in Redwood City, CA a month earlier. An acquaintance of Hogan, Sage Robert, a UC Berkeley student, allegedly helped him sell the phone, after failing to track down the owner. With Apple confirming its provenance, bloggers such as John Gruber and Ken Sweet speculated that this transaction may have violated the California Penal Code.
On 26 April, after Gizmodo returned the iPhone to Apple, upon Apple's request, the police group, California Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team, executed a search warrant on editor Jason Chen's home and seized computers, hard drives, servers, cameras, notes, and a file of business cards, under direction from San Mateo County's chief deputy district attorney, Stephen Wagstaffe. Since then, Gizmodo and the prosecution have agreed that a special master will review the contents of the items seized and determine if they contain any relevant information.. Gizmodo has since been barred from all Apple-hosted events and product launches.
