Gizmondo Adds Titles, Screenshots Even.
Gizmondo didn’t want to be left out of all the news and press releases yesterday, so they leaked out some news and a few screenshots of upcoming games. Not sure if the titles will make it for the UK launch or not. Seeing they have actual screenshots, they appear miles ahead in development over the [...]
The Register reviews the Tapwave
Check out this great little review from our tea-swilling friends over the pond.
They go on to say that The Zodiac’s highlight is its gorgeous 3.8in, 480 x 320 16-bit colour transflective LCD. It’s not the brightest display I’ve seen, but without a doubt the best one on a games-oriented device. The screen is [...]
In Other News, Gizmondo Launch Announced
Tiger Telematics and Gizmondo announced today that the official UK launch date of the Gizmondo System will be October 29, 2004.

They announced a game development fund to support developers who will take the time to incorporate Gizmonodo’s “advanced” features in to their game, wink, wink. Mostly, I suspect they want to see something done with the GPS since [...]
Gizmondo To Support MP3 Download Service
Music download services are money machines. Apple has iTunes (duh). Sony has Connect. Napster has, well, Napster (duh duh). Ebay and Wal-Mart are trying the game, and there are many many more. Anxious to be in the game, or more to avoid being the only one NOT in the game, Gizmondo has arranged for Loudeye’s [...]

Tapwave Zodiac Gets First Duke Nukem Title (Finally)
Tapwave secretly, well sort of secretly, released Duke Nukem: Mobile for the Zodiac handheld system today. We have yet to see video or a decent review for the game, but we know a lot of development (and/or testing) hours went into making this a solid title for the system.
