Chip and Bluetooth 


LOS ANGELES, May 11  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gizmondo, the eagerly
anticipated new handheld multi-entertainment device from Tiger Telematics  will
be showcased this week at the 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3Expo), May
12-14, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. E3Expo is the world's premier
trade show for computer and video games and related products now in its tenth
year. The Gizmondo booth (formerly Gametrac), located in the South Hall #446,
will be a hands-on experience where attendees will have an opportunity to
experience the fully functioning gaming device.

The Gizmondo, powered by a Microsoft Windows CE.net platform, boosts a 2.8-inch
TFT color screen with an ARM9 400Mhz processor and incorporates a 64-bit
graphics accelerator. It provides cutting-edge gaming, multimedia messaging, an
MP3 music player, MPEG 4 movie playing capability, a digital camera and a GPRS
network link to allow wide-area network gaming. Additionally, it contains a GPS
chip for location-based services, is equipped with Bluetooth for use in
multi-player gaming and accepts MMC card accessories.

"The Gizmondo is changing the way consumers access multi-media entertainment by
providing users with the ability to play video games, listen to music, take
pictures, view movies and music videos all from one device that fits in the
palm of their hand," said Carl Freer, MD of Gizmondo Europe, Ltd. "In addition
to its multi-media capabilities, Gizmondo is also the first handheld device to
provide GPS and GPRS technologies -- extending the reach of gamers to a virtual
level never experienced before."

The Gizmondo booth at E3 will include an interactive environment with multiple
kiosks where attendees can enjoy the device's multimedia and virtual reality
capabilities. In addition to the launch of the device, Gizmondo will introduce
its first proprietary game, "Colors," in which players can integrate their
physical surroundings into the games' logistics through the GPRS capability.
The Gizmondo is scheduled for worldwide distribution in early Q4 2004 and will
be available in consumer electronic and toy retailers, including Toys 'R' Us in
the UK.
