LONDON, March 10 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ –

More Functionality Unveiled at Premiere European Trade Show

Gizmondo Europe Ltd, subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger
Telematics Inc. (OTC: TGTL; OTC: TGTL.PK), today announced it will be profiling
a satellite navigation software application on the Gizmondo stand at the CeBIT
European consumer electronics and videogames show, which starts today in
Hannover, Germany.

The Gizmondo lists an arsenal of functionality including gaming, MP3 and
MPEG 4 music and movie playback, email, SMS, and picture messaging. In
addition, the subscription-free GPS hardware embedded on the device enables
many other day-to-day practical applications and uses — satellite navigation
being just one of those.

CeBIT, which runs from 10th - 16th March 2005, has been chosen for Gizmondo
to demonstrate the latest mapping and route-finding software from Tom Tom. The
Gizmondo, its games, and GPS applications will be on show in Hall 25, stand
F36, as well as being featured on the NVIDA booth in Hall 23, B43.

Carl Freer, managing director, Gizmondo, says: "CeBIT will be the first
event we’ve shown the GPS functionality of the device, and the satellite
navigation demo from Tom Tom will undoubtedly draw a great deal of interest."
He added. "How we proceed with navigation software will depend largely on
responses we get at the show."

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. It provides cutting-edge gaming, multimedia messaging, an MP3
music player, Mpeg4 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 SD and MMC card accessories.

The Gizmondo device and its games are in retail stores from 19th March 2005
in the UK, and in North American and Continental Europe markets from Spring
2005.
