RSSGizmondo Delayed Until October

Tiger Telematics has delayed the highly anticipated Gizmondo device until October following consultation with U.S. retailers. The company previewed the Gizmondo at this year's E3 conference in Los Angeles. Tiger blamed the change in plans on delays in a GPS device and a "significant game title" that was to coincide with the launch.
According to Tiger CEO Mike Carrender, the Gizmondo will now have 500,000 units available at launch, along with a wider portfolio of games. Also, the device will hit right before the holiday shopping season, which the company sees as beneficial to its success. "We're mindful that North America is a hugely influential and strategically important market, and we're determined to package every aspect of the US launch to succeed," company chairman Carl Freer said in prepared remarks.
"highly anticipated"? By who?

|Tigers Game.Com was really awful, it was like 10 years late or something... The only thing that tempted me was it had a version of duke nukem on it.

|That's funny Pipewrench. I wonder what you were doing when you wrote your review? Outside playing or on a computer. Ummmm, gee I do wonder?? Anyway, yes yleclerc is right. They have gotten poor reviews so they are waiting till the attention is gone. Out of sight, out of mind you might say. Maybe, MaxPC should review them again later.

|Gizmondo has been reviewed in Maximum PC magazine for Sept. 2005. They gave it a "3 out of 10". Spend your money on a Sony PSP instead.
