WARTHOG PLC
DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES

The board of Warthog plc (the 'Company') announces that it has today completed
the sale of all of the Company's subsidiaries to Tiger Telematics, Inc ('TGTL')
together with the transfer to TGTL of certain intra-group indebtedness due to
the Company. The total consideration including assumed indebtedness is $8.11
million of which $1,113,000 will be paid in cash and $7 million satisfied by way
of an allotment of 497,866 shares of common stock in TGTL at $14.06 per share,
being the average mid market closing price of a TGTL common share over the 14
days preceding completion. These shares are restricted stock and as such can
only be traded on or after the first anniversary of completion (the
'Anniversary') in accordance with U.S. securities laws. Up to the Anniversary,
these shares will be held in escrow against any claim arising under certain
warranties, tax indemnities and completion account net asset value adjustments
set out in the sale and purchase agreement. 150,000 of the cash consideration
will also be held in escrow until the Anniversary, pending specific warranties.
The Company has waived the balance of all other amounts due to it by its former
subsidiaries.

Upon completion of the transaction, the executive directors Ashley Hall, Steven
Law and Simon Elms together with one other remaining employee of the Company
will transfer employment to TGTL leaving Ian Templeton FCA and David Robinson as
non-executive Directors of the Company. The Company has also undertaken to
change its name and will be calling an EGM to effect such a change in due course
and will at that time update shareholders further.

The board of Warthog plc has sought to complete this transaction as rapidly as
possible (and therefore did not elect to seek shareholder approval) because the
group has continued to face difficult trading conditions within the games
development industry, as reported in the Company's Final Results on 28 September
2004, which has put the group under ongoing financial pressure. In addition,
TGTL required the transaction to be consummated as expeditiously as possible, in
conjunction with the commencement of shipping of its Gizmondo product into the
UK. The transaction leaves the Company having discharged substantially all of
its liabilities and with a valuable shareholding in TGTL which will be capable
of realisation in a year's time. The realisable value of this shareholding
depends entirely upon the commercial success of TGTL and the performance of the
TGTL shares on the financial market.

The board considers, in conjunction with its advisers, that this transaction
represents the best available outcome for the Company and its shareholders.

Tiger Telematics, Inc is listed on the 'NASDAQ Other OTC Market' under symbol
'TGTL'. TGTL's publicly stated intention is to apply for a listing on the
'NASDAQ National Market' in December 2004. TGTL is a designer, developer and
marketer of mobile telematics systems and services that combine global GPS
functions and voice recognition technology to locate and track vehicles and
people down to street level in countries throughout the world. The systems are
designed to operate on GPS and are currently being marketed to GSM current and
potential subscribers, primarily by the company's United Kingdom based
subsidiary, Gizmondo Europe Limited ('GEL'). GEL is a wholly owned subsidiary of
TGTL and is the maker of the Gizmondo, a next-generation mobile entertainment
device which includes games, built-in music, video, messaging and picture
functions and GPS. On 29 October, TGTL began shipping its first generation
product as part of a strategic retail roll out in the UK.

The transaction gives GEL access to existing games content and porting
technology to enable the transfer of titles developed for use on other platforms
on to the Gizmondo handheld device. Warthog plc shareholders will therefore
benefit from continued investment in TGTL as it seeks to exploit the games
content and technical capabilities that the Company has developed over the past
few years.

As previously announced on 12 October 2004, GEL is interested in 8.62 per cent.
of the Company's current total issued ordinary share capital.

About the Gizmondo device
The Gizmondo is powered by a Microsoft Windows CE.net platform, boasts 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 due for launch in the UK in the fourth
quarter 2004 and in North American markets from the first quarter 2005.

DEALERS believe that Warthog, 0.11p dearer, could be a good recovery punt. More than 52m shares in the computer games developer changed hands on hopes that the worst is over. Tiger Telematics, a leading European games console maker grabbed it by the tusks in October when it bought its subsidaries, intellectual properties and assests. In return Warhog acquired a stake in TT which is now worth at least 3p per share.

accord, did not get a sun, what i'am told. The rivals, the hand held market is a fierce battleground for magor computer cmpanies this year.Other mini machines hoping to challange the PSP and DS include the Gizmondo the xbox in your pocket for 230, this high spec device will play mp3, show films and download games. But its lack of support from software developers could spell trouble.

However it failed to mention the additional features of the Gizmondo such as the GPS etc. Pretty flaky article in my opinion. More a filler than informative. You can access it via the Sun online.

19th March it is then.................

LONDON, March 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- Gizmondo Available to Public on 19th March as Regent Street Flagship
Store Opens its Doors



Gizmondo Europe Ltd, subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger
Telematics Inc. (OTC: TGTL.PK, OTC:TGTL), today announces an official UK
street date of 19th March for Gizmondo to coincide with the opening of its
flagship store at 175 Regent Street in London's busy West End, where retail
units of the multi-entertainment handheld will go on sale to the public.
Gizmondo will also be available through selected retail partners in the UK on
the same day.



As well as demonstrating the incredible power and functionality of the
Gizmondo device at the premier London venue, the store (located across the
road from Hamley's) will be playing host to other amazing technologies, like
a low-frequency sound generator and a huge 3D plasma TV display. A major
launch event is planned in conjunction with the store opening, details of
which will follow shortly.



The GBP229 (inc VAT) launch package will include the Gizmondo, a standard
1100mAh battery and mains charger, contract-free SIM card, an SD card
containing music, game and movie demos, in-the-ear headphones, driver
software and a 1.75m USB cable. Games will be priced at three levels:
GBP9.99, GBP19.99, and GBP29.99.



The new entrant into the handheld gaming market, Gizmondo will be ramping
up the production as quickly as possible to help retailers satisfy customer
demand.



Carl Freer, Managing Director, Gizmondo, says: "Gizmondo is the British
challenger in a market that will witness a spectacular boom this year. We've
been able to introduce exciting new features like GPS into gaming, and with
such a remarkable list of features, the Gizmondo is the most powerful,
feature-laden piece of multi-entertainment hardware available."



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.

Nice to see it in black & white. Tiger should be blue this pm.

I just bought 100k at 1.45p, looks like trades over 1.41p are buys.

I would expect so Iturama. Just paid for my last million purchase at 1.65p today and suprised we are not at that on the bid today with such +ve news on the near horizon, oxymoron I know. Contemplating adding another million at these prices and holding for the year end, I cannot see anything but 3p minimum when the sales and orders start to be filled. The key is it's functionality and as long as it gets good critiques re: this, the added features will give the price a more than fair value.

John.
Your right. Couldn't resist buying a few more at 1.41. Absolute snatch. Tiger bounced back well yesterday and should gather momentum over the next few weeks. TB.
I think there is now just one way to go. There will initially be some selling into a rally but as Tiger moves towards $35 there will be a stampede to buy.

looks very cheap now.

Going at 1.44 - Worth 2.10 - Bargain.

Iturama
Regarding your post 719 and the mention of gambling, no-one could fail to notice the current fever in gambling related stocks. The BBC sunday morning TV news had an interview with a Sportingbet director about current trends but the article concluded that the online gaming scenario is about to be eclipsed by gaming via 3G mobile telephony. And maybe by Gizmondo if we dream enough. Confirming the info from Peter Lilley, the Nintendo DS was also advertised on terrestial TV this evening quoting the launch of the DS as 11th March. Hope we see more exposure of the Gizmondo.

DC.
I think the problem for Tiger over the next six months will be more supply than demand related. Like SEO, it will want to grow organically and there is a danger of overstretching its resources if it tries to compete too soon, advertising-wise, with the likes of Nintendo & Sony. The statements made by the company shows awareness of that.
We know it has a few million preorders, as well as the North American launch demand, to satify over the next few months. That is more than sufficient to ensure an excellent start for the company.

"Going at 1.44 - Worth 2.10 - Bargain."
thats a 45% uplift without any future good news..

Any ideas or news as to why Tiger is down over 5 %.

Also, there was a piece in yesterdays Sunday Times about the forthcoming portables including the Giz. It quoted a price of 280, (whereas I thought it was going to be 229), which was more than expensive than the PSP. Generally it was not a particularly positive piece about the Giz. favouring the PSP instead generally because of the larger range of games already available. I can't, but if someone else could copy the relevant bits on this board it might serve to bring a bit of reality back to it ;-)

article in full - depends how you read it - says giz is good - hackers always sit on the fence...

Welcome to the mobile social club
The latest batch of handheld gaming consoles looks set to transform the way we play while we roam. And, as Stuart Andrews discovers, they may even help to educate our children


A new generation of handheld games machines is expected to do for gaming what the iPod did for music: take our favourite digital pastimes away from the computer and out into the everyday world. Where computer games were once a solitary affair, restricted to the home and prone to stifle social skills, the new handsets are about to take button-mashers and inter- active entertainment on the road. Train carriages, bus stops and the workplace are the new battlegrounds, where players can now compete against one another. There are even lessons for the schoolroom. Welcome to the mobile games club, which can convene anywhere, at any time.

I work in a cafe, and when my friend and I have some spare time, well bring out our DSs and play some Mario 64, says the Seattle-based Michael Prior, 22, of his new Nintendo DS handset, which launches in Britain this week. These handhelds are perfect for quick bouts because you dont have to worry about wires or, in some cases, having multiple copies of the game. You just turn on the decks and play against your friends or anyone else in the cafe.

The PlayStation Portable (PSP) goes one better by including music and video playback, putting a complete digital- entertainment package in your pocket. Such is the excitement among gamers that by the time the PSP reaches the UK in April, Sony will be producing 1m units a month; even so, it fears it might not satisfy world demand.

For Phil Harrison, Sony Computer Entertainment Europes vice-president of development, the reason is simple. PSP will have the same impact on mobile entertainment as the PlayStation had on television-based gaming, he claims.

It will make something that was prev- iously specialist and niche legitimate and global. The PlayStation led the trend that brought gaming out of the realm of the geek into the living rooms of young adults in the mainstream. Now games have grown up even further, and are ready to move out of the home.

The Nintendo DS has already enjoyed phenomenal success in America and Japan, where more than 3m units have been sold since last November. Rival handhelds from the newcomers Gizmondo and Tapwave add to a groundswell that has the potential to change the face of mobile gaming for ever.

It is about time, too. While the past

10 years have seen home consoles embracing realistic 3-D graphics and increasingly sophisticated games, handheld titles have been stuck in a rut.

However, with the new breed, the gap between handheld and home consoles is closing. The DS can match the impressive 3-D graphics of the Nintendo 64, and the PSP goes one better, producing visuals that approach those of the current PlayStation2. Bestsellers such as Fifa Soccer or the driving game Gran Turismo will not look vastly different in the handheld format.

This mobile revolution is not simply about visual enhancements, it has behavioural implications, too. Wireless- networked handsets mean that gamers can interact with each other, as they do on the internet. This immediately changes the way we play on the move. Both the PSP and the Nintendo DS use WiFi the 802.11b standard that serves most existing wireless computer networks to connect to other units, which means that several players can link up in seconds without any physical connection.

When the DS was launched in Japan, Nintendo advertised the last carriage on Tokyo underground trains as the DS carriage, where gamers could get together to play. Does that mean we will see commuters jockeying for pole position on the 7.15 to Waterloo? Harrison says: Most games will support eight players, but many will support more, and you could definitely play against people in the next train carriage.

This capability transforms mobile gaming from an isolated, head-down activity, such as reading a book or listening to an iPod, into one that is much more sociable.

People playing games against each other always has the potential to be a social activity, and thats certainly evident in online gaming, where there is a lot of communication, says Mark Griffiths, professor of psychology at Nottingham Trent University. The fact that people are playing while standing next to each other doesnt make mobile gaming any more sociable, but if you are engaging in social interaction within the games, that is often useful.

Games that incorporate wireless communications open up other routes into the real world: each Gizmondo unit incorporates a GPS tracking system, so the players physical location becomes an integral part of the experience. In Colors, a forthcoming gang-warfare title, this technology creates a virtual fence around the players physical location, which becomes the turf his circle of friends share. Should rival Colors players be tracked crossing into that real-world territory, they appear within the game and must be fought or traded with.

For the hard-core gamer, Sony has another carrot to dangle. By connecting to WiFi hot spots found in cafes, hotels and airports, or through a standard wireless router in the home, PSP players will be able to compete with players much further afield. It will, in theory, be possible to play against anyone, anywhere in the world, Harrison suggests. It becomes much easier to create a genuinely global gaming experience. Five of the PSPs American launch titles play to this capability, and Nintendo has similar plans for the DS.

All the same, existing gamers may not be the issue here. Dr Jason Rutter, of the University of Manchesters Centre for Research on Innovation and Competition, feels that the value of mobile games is their potential to appeal to people who dont necessarily see themselves as gamers, people who are not technically savvy, and in every age group.

So, for example, the Nintendo DS has found favour in American classrooms, where the potential for silent messaging, quick doodles and talking through walls has made PictoChat, a graphic message system, an enticing prospect. We PictoChat a lot during classes to discuss questions, but if we talked wed get in trouble, says Sam Retch, 17, from Indianapolis. The DS is as useful in school as my pencil. My day would be boring without it.

Parents have found that the DS handsets can also make an interesting educational tool. I use PictoChat to help my five-year-old son, Justin, study the alphabet and his numbers, says Kenneth Toy, a participant in Planet GameCube DS forums. I send him letters, numbers or small words to see what he recognises. Now he doesnt mind studying at all, and when were done, we get some multiplayer Mario going together.

Toys case shows that, in the end, the real revolution is not purely about playing games on the move, or even social gaming. It is about communication and the freedom to play what you want, when you want, where you want and with whom you want. It is about entertainment anywhere, and as a shared experience.

ON TEST: THE NEW CONSOLES FOR GAMING ON THE MOVE

Sony PSP launches in April, 180 from www.amazon.co.uk This years iPod. The console, right, includes a surprisingly large screen for its diminutive size, and the sleek design is irresistible. The PSP also comes pretty close to putting the power of PlayStation2 in your pocket, as reflected in a strong launch line-up of established PS2 games that look faithful to the original. Movie and music playback may also prove vital to the PSPs success, as could wireless connectivity between other PSPs and the internet. The gorgeous screen and vast storage possibilities complete an impressive package.


Nintendo DS 105 from www.argos.co.uk Nintendos innovative handheld departs from the classic Game Boy with a dual screen. The top screen functions as normal, the bottom screen doubles as a touch-sensitive pad. In Mario 64 DS, this becomes an analogue controller; in Metroid Prime: Hunters, it is a targeting device. The touch screen also lends itself to role-playing, puzzle and strategy games. In terms of 3-D power, the DS comes second to the Sony PSP, but Nintendos inventive gameplay values and the lure of its PictoChat feature should help keep it in the running.

Gizmondo 270 from www.gizmondo.com A Swiss army knife among handhelds, and the clear underdog of the new breed. Gizmondo packs GPRS mobile- phone technology, a 0.3-megapixel digital camera, Bluetooth networking, GPS satellite tracking and MP3 and movie playback into one pocket-sized unit. However, Gizmondo has much to prove in the games arena. Its 3-D graphics have yet to be harnessed to the full and, despite interesting games in development and promised support from industry heavyweights, its makers will have to work hard to lure buyers from the PSP.


Tapwave Zodiac2 160 from www.currys.co.uk Less a games gadget than a palm-compatible handheld computer

with strong gaming features. These include a beautiful high-resolution colour screen, stereo audio, Bluetooth networking and an analogue joypad. The Tapwave also scores high for movie and music playback, while memory cards are a good way of importing media. Sadly, the games line-up is uninspiring, with a reliance on older PC games, retro classics and slightly amateurish arcade games. A great PDA, but so far not a great games machine.

If you go to the Gizmondo site, you will find it is 229 , not 270. The Sunday Times rarely gets its facts right in my experience.

Thanks for that Guys.

Any idea why the drop in Tiger. Is it sudden profit taking or worries over supply, competition ????

TGTL are about to launch a new and exciting product .However there is some negative comment coming through - as well as positive!There is strong competition , but GIZ appear to be in entering the game first. There arre also comment about its ability/ performance as a games console (limited games / functionality)"better as a PDA" says one paper!
The share price is not so strong, perhaps peolpe adverse to risk are sitting it out until the launch.
I still believe this will either be verything the market wants and go into orbit or it will be seen as ok but lets wait for the "real" products from the professionals to be launched soon. I think being first into the market and peoples apetite for new "whizzy" pieces of "techno"kit will get the product off the shelves and before the others launch the "GIZ" could be a fad thats taken over the world.Alternatively if the market holds back from thre product ....it could bomb!Well lets just hope its my former suggestion and if that is the case, then, yes It will be me splashing you as i drive past in my roller!Come on GIZ!!!!

well journos are notorious at missing the point - at these prices c 1.4(viz 2.4 last year) its still a good bet and a product its a good all rounder - the giz is a "player" in this market - excuse the pun - surprised theres not more large buys. (cf - The Blackberry wasnt too well received initially, but look at it now)

People will be waiting to see how low Tiger goes before the bounce!!! I hope!

Well this price is just too good.Had to buy some more,keeping everything crossed.unless TGTL announce something disastrous today 1.45p is a silly price.IMHO. If ive got it right i willhave to buy second roller ................now what colour do i get?
