A cut-down version of the T/S 2068, based on the T/S 2048 prototype named '''T/S 2048''', was cancelled before entering intended production in 1984. This was due to the commercial failure of the [[Timex Sinclair 1000|T/S 1500]].
According to an early Timex Sinclair 2000 computer flyer, it would have 16&nbsp;KB of [[random-access memory|RAM]], add a [[Kempston Interface|Kempston-compatible]] joystick interface and a two color high resolution mode for 80 column text.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Owen |first=Chris |date=2003 |title=Computers: Timex/Sinclair: TS 2048 |url=https://rk.nvg.ntnu.no/sinclair/computers/timex/ts2048.htm |website=Planet Sinclair}}</ref>

The 2048 model number was the intended model number for what finally got named Timex Sinclair 2068. In an interview with Lou Galie, Senior Vice President of Technology at Timex, he tells what he claims to be the real story. Danny Ross, Timex Computer Corporation president, was giving a speech. Lou points: "When Danny announced what was supposed to be the 2048, he mis-spoke and called it the 2068. When I called him on it, he laughed and said: - Rename it. 2068 is better than 2048.".<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Florindo |first=Bruno |title=CIRCE - AMERICAN COUSINS |url=http://www.armchairarcade.com/neo/files/Circe%20-%20Timex%20Computers.pdf |journal=Byte High No Limit |issue=22 |pages=64}}</ref>

Although the T/S 2048 was cancelled, the '''[[Timex Computer 2048]]''', based on the T/S 2048 prototype and released in 1984, was sold in [[Portugal]] and [[Poland]].
