Tiger Telematics(R) Signs Kohnke Communications
Leading Interactive Entertainment PR Agency to Represent Gizmondo in North America
LONDON, February 22/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gizmondo Europe Ltd, subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based
Tiger Telematics Inc. (OTC: TGTL.PK, OTC: TGTL), today announced they have
signed Kohnke Communications as their agency of record to manage all public
relations efforts, superseding pervious representations, in North America for
their highly-anticipated handheld multi-entertainment device, Gizmondo.
"Kohnke Communications have a great reputation within the
interactive entertainment industry, which is essential to compliment our
global communications structure and launch strategies" said Carl Freer,
Managing Director of Gizmondo Europe Ltd. "The Gizmondo will certainly
attract interest from traditionally non-gaming medias, because of the GPS,
messaging, email, music and movie functionality, and Kohnke's broad-spectrum
experience matches that criteria perfectly."
Gizmondo will join the ranks of other high-profile clients in
Kohnke Communications' already impressive portfolio, including Electronic
Arts, Logitech, JAMDAT, Bandai and Namco among many others.
"Gizmondo has the opportunity to add a new dimension to gaming
that we have never seen before with its global positioning system," said
Erica Kohnke Kain, President and Founder of Kohnke Communications. "Gizmondo
Europe shares our same passion for gaming, commitment to quality and
innovation, and we look forward to a very successful collaboration."
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 MMC card accessories.
The Gizmondo device and its games are currently launching in
the U.K., and in North American and Continental Europe markets this spring
2005.
