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.

Top up now at this level before the launch of the 'GIZ' next week, then reap the rewards.

Hers hoping , I really did not think we would get shares for 1.35p again. The launch next week will be nerve jangling, but still feel no reson to be pessimistic.Run out of cash so hope the price does not drop anymore as i will not be able to cash in.I would sell my body but I would have to pay them!

LONDON, March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- - HDL Confirmed as Gizmondo Logistics Partner for UK

Gizmondo Europe Ltd, subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc. , has signed an agreement with the HDL Group, based in Glasgow, Scotland, for the delivery of logistical services surrounding the retailing and customer support of the new Gizmondo handheld multi-entertainment device in the UK.

Finished goods delivered from the Flextronics assembly line in China will be configured and tested in Holland before being picked, packed and shipped to their final UK destination by HDL. HDL will also manage dissemination of marketing materials and point of sale to retailers as well as product distribution.

The Gizmondo's 1-year product warranty will also offer a 'no quibble' service agreement to replace faulty units, if any hardware problem arises. HDL will manage this, alongside a customer service helpline, to ensure customer's satisfaction for their Gizmondo.

Donald McCorquodale, Director, HDL, says: "we are delighted to be involved with this innovative and exciting new project and we look forward to playing our part in the establishment of Gizmondo as a household name."

Steve Carroll, Director, Gizmondo, says: "HDL have a proven track record in providing cost effective and reliable logistic solutions. Their experience and commitment to delivering excellence will prove invaluable going forward."

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.

So Monday 21st March will be interesting after the first weekends trading.

A note from Sparky Santos posted on a US BB:

Most Americans born after 1970 remember the Wendy's ad wherein octogenarian Clara Peller glanced at a hamburger, then looked squarely into the camera and asked, "Where's the beef?"

That was early in 1984, when a then-lesser-known Wendy's, despite its superior burger, was lacking awareness, and was experiencing lagging sales growth; growth that was sadly trailing Burger King and McDonalds.

While poor old Clara was only paid $ 500,000 for the ad, and although she was shit-canned just a few months later for claiming [in a Prego Spaghetti ad] to have "found the beef;" her popular "Where's the beef?" ad was run through the end of 1986 and during that two-year period Wendy's sales soared 31%.

Despite his hatred of refined carbohydrates, Sparky sees a very interesting analogy here between the hamburger industry in the mid-1980s and the portable console industry today.

For starters, twenty years ago McDonalds was to hamburgers what Sony is to consoles today; Burger King was clearly number two in the hamburger world, just as Nintendo is in consoles today; and Wendy's was then a distant third in hamburgers, just as Gizmondo is today in consoles.

And look what's happened since - McDonalds was a well-run company back then and still is today, it had a huge and growing base of loyal customers back then and still does, and it was clearly the industry leader then and today with over 31,000 outlets it still is. Burger King also stuck to a good plan that's worked, it too has established a huge and loyal customer base, and with over 11,000 restaurants it's clearly still number two.

But even though the same two industry leaders still lead, Wendy's is still clearly and not-so-distantly number three, and it now operates over 8,000 restaurants worldwide.

A final similarity Sparky sees between the burger wars of the mid 1980s and the console markets of today concerns the quality of the competitors' respective products. Specifically, back then the single awareness concept that put Wendy's permanently on the map was simply pointing out that their product was not only as good as what the big boys were serving, but that it was better.

Sparky sees a similar awareness campaign on Gizmondo's near-term marketing horizon. For after all, Tiger's Gizmondo performs all the functions that Sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS do, and then some, and does many of them better.

With these thoughts in mind, Sparky urges TGTL shareholders to stay focused on Gizmondo's long-term potential and to keep recent trading, which appears to be exaggerated by sizable leveraged transactions, in its proper prospective.

And as a final note, as of Tuesday's close, TGTL shares sported a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 23, which is clearly beginning to signal an oversold condition. Only three times during the past year has TGTL's RSI dropped below 25: For three days in early August of 2004, for two days at the very start of September 2004, and for one day on November 8th of 2004. And as a glance a one-year TGTL chart reveals, each of those instances was immediately followed by significant share price appreciation.

This all leads Sparky to conclude that we TGTL shareholders should not only stay long, but we should also think long.

Sincerely,

Sparky

LONDON, March 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- - Italy Places its Order as Gizmondo Momentum Grows

Gizmondo Europe Ltd, subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc. , today confirmed it has signed an agreement with Napoli-based distribution company, Com. Met. S.r.l., for distribution rights in Italy, ahead of Gizmondo's pan-European roll out this spring.

The 57 million-strong Italian population has long been a hotbed for mobile technology, and gaming in particular enjoys an enthusiastic audience that extends from hardcore to the mass market. Also renowned for early adoption of new gaming trends, Italy is ripe for a boom in the handheld sector this year. Both companies are working closely together to strategise the impending launch, and plans are already underway for a high-profile media event, details of which will follow.

The Gizmondo multi-entertainment device is currently being released in the UK, and is rapidly gathering momentum and interest in both Europe and North America. Street dates will be confirmed on a territory-by-territory basis, and Italy is due to be announced shortly.

The announcement comes as Gizmondo began showing the GPS functionality of the device for the first time at the CeBIT show in Hannover, Germany, which runs from 10th - 16th March 2005. 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.

Arthur Ossler, director for Com. Met. S.r.l., says: "The company has placed an initial order of 120,000 units with Gizmondo Europe, which will begin to open the doors to a much wider audience. Gizmondo is an extremely exciting proposition for the Italian market. We expect significant growth in the mobile gaming sector in Italy this year, Gizmondo is superbly position to be among the market leaders, and our opening order is just the tip of the iceberg of what we expect to follow."

Carl Freer, managing director, Gizmondo, added: "Italy has always been at the forefront of mobile technology. We've focus tested extensively for each European market, and the Italian audiences favoured the device particularly highly. We will be working closely with our new distribution partner to maximise opportunities in the region."

Glad the rot seems to have stopped with Tiger!!

Up 5.5% to $24 on low volume 20,750.

A nice steady rise to the launch would be good. Expect there will be plenty of news in the coming week.

The first tv ad for the UK is on the Gizmondo website. Clearly targeted at the non believers!
