Tiger Telematics Confirm USA Launch Date Of October 22, 2005.

Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc (other OTC, TGTL) has confirmed its USA release date of October 22, 2005 for Gizmondo and announces further retailers carrying the product in the United Kingdom.

Carl Freer, co-founder and Chairman, Tiger Telematics, says: "Contrary to rumours in the marketplace we are not delaying the scheduled USA launch, we are committed to the October 22, 2005 release date, and the product will be available in all 50 states well in advance of the Christmas retail season."

The extensive list of UK retailers continues to grow following the demand generated by the new Satellite Navigation package. Previously announced retailers like Comet (a leading UK electrical supplier with 264 stores), Argos (the UK's #1 catalogue-based highstreet retailer), Carphone Warehouse, HMV, Virtual Games, Harrods, Amazon and the top-10 destination John Lewis stores, are joined by Play.com and Maplin.

Play.com is one of the fastest-growing online retailers of DVD, music, books, games and consumer electronics, whilst Maplin features over 75 stores across the UK, a catalogue carrying over 15,000 products, and a high-traffic online presence.

Michael Carrender, CEO, Tiger Telematics, says: "Tiger Telematics is strategically well positioned in a rapidly growing mobile gaming industry. This has generated discussions that may or may not lead to a substantial corporate action or strategic opportunity."
