Gizmondo's Best Exhibition to Date

Gizmondo Europe Ltd subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc is delighted to confirm that the recent E3 in Los Angeles, known globally as a calendar event for the gaming industry, has shown to be an enormous success for the company.

A staggering 70,000 industry professionals and analysts attended the three-day show, inundating the Gizmondo booth where six new titles (Agaju, Sticky Balls, Johnny Whatever, Hit and Myth, Chicane, and Supernaturals) were unveiled exclusively for the Gizmondo, alongside much publicised Augmented Reality and Gyroscopic Camera Technology demonstrations.

Media and trade responses to the Electronic Arts announcement and US street date were extremely positive, and announcements regarding new content and strategic partnerships will be forthcoming as a result of meetings held of the show.

Mike Morgan, VP of Global Sales for Gizmondo, says: "The show was extremely successful in terms of channel relationships and strategic partnerships. The new game titles have been very well received and being able to announce EA's backing at such a time when all the industry's eyes were upon us was hugely important."

Carl Freer, co-founder and Chairman, Tiger Telematics, says: "This was our biggest and best exhibition to date. The stand attracted gigantic crowds of media, analysts and retail buyers, and there is little doubt that the US market appetite for the Gizmondo will be very significant.? He continued, "With Microsoft showcasing the XBox 360, it was hardly surprising that this year's show focussed heavily on hardware, particularly mobile and convergence devices - an arena within which the Gizmondo is positioned as a leading player."

As seen by thousands of serious gamers, the Gizmondo is powered by Microsoft Windows CE advanced real-time operating system, boasting a 2.8-inch TFT colour screen with a Samsung ARM9 400Mhz processor and incorporates the GoForce 3D 4500 NVIDIA graphics accelerator.
