We know it’s been rough not knowing exactly when Tiger Telematics was going to introduce their Gizmondo portable game console over here, but they’ve finally confirmed a US release date: August 11th. Their ridiculously over-the-top booth here at E3 notwithstanding, there hasn’t exactly been an overwhelming amount of buzz about the Gizmondo since it debuted in the UK a couple of months back. They did score commitments from both EA and Ubisoft to release games for the Gizmondo, and they’re touting the console’s GPS capabilities, which’ll let you do some interesting stuff when it comes to location based gaming, and its multimedia functions, but it’s hard to imagine anyone, short of Microsoft themselves (or maybe Apple or Samsung), coming out with a portable console that could grab the spotlight away from the twin juggernauts of the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation Portable.
