Awwww. Well, it was good while it lasted, but the anticipation is now apparently squashed. We should expect no video iPod action on October 12, alas, but we should look forward to seeing some sort of update to the regular ol’ full-size iPod, along with the updates to the Pro Mac line. We should be looking at an 80GB iPod of slightly smaller form factor than current models — and potentially even a new color other than iconic white or Bono black. In the Powerbook department we should look forward to higher resolution displays — but no widescreen iBook yet, though sources expect all portable Macs will be sporting widescreens by next year. Both the updated Powerbooks and Power Macs will be using DDR2 memory, delivering additional performance gains beyond the processor speed bumps.

Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc (other OTC, TGTL) has confirmed its USA release date of October 22, 2005 for Gizmondo and announces further retailers carrying the product in the United Kingdom.
Carl Freer, co-founder and Chairman, Tiger Telematics, says: "Contrary to rumours in the marketplace we are not delaying the scheduled USA launch, we are committed to the October 22, 2005 release date, and the product will be available in all 50 states well in advance of the Christmas retail season."
The extensive list of UK retailers continues to grow following the demand generated by the new Satellite Navigation package. Previously announced retailers like Comet (a leading UK electrical supplier with 264 stores), Argos (the UK's #1 catalogue-based highstreet retailer), Carphone Warehouse, HMV, Virtual Games, Harrods, Amazon and the top-10 destination John Lewis stores, are joined by Play.com and Maplin.
Play.com is one of the fastest-growing online retailers of DVD, music, books, games and consumer electronics, whilst Maplin features over 75 stores across the UK, a catalogue carrying over 15,000 products, and a high-traffic online presence.
Michael Carrender, CEO, Tiger Telematics, says: "Tiger Telematics is strategically well positioned in a rapidly growing mobile gaming industry. This has generated discussions that may or may not lead to a substantial corporate action or strategic opportunity."

We have to admit that, over the past several decades we’ve been waiting for it, our enthusiasm for the Gizmondo has seriously cooled. So forgive us if we don’t foam at the mouth over Tiger Telematics’ announcement that the handheld gaming console will finally be released in the U.S. on October 22. Sure, we’d still like to take it for a spin. But let’s just say that the launch is unlikely to result in PSP-style pandemonium.

The U.S. isn’t the only place where the iPod nano is shaking up the market for flash-based audio players. In Korea, the home market of many leading audio-player manufacturers, the introduction of the nano has set off a price war. With the 2GB nano priced at W230,000 (about $220), companies like Cowon have been forced to slash prices by as much as 30%. But not all Korean companies are willing to cede the homefront. Samsung has kept the price of its 2GB flash player at W380,000 (about $365) — though the company has reduced the cost of a 4GB hard-disc player to W360,000 ($346). Sony, as a foreign brand with less to lose, has also cut prices, reducing the price of the 20GB Network Walkman by 30% (of course, at this point, Sony needs to do anything it can to goose its sales, so it might have done this even without the nano).

So we already know that Apple has an announcment planned for next week (you can also try scrolling down a couple of posts), but the big question on everyone’s minds is whether or not Apple is finally going to get around to introducing that video iPod we’ve been hearing rumors about for, well, about as long as there’s been a non-video iPod. AppleInsider thinks it’s a go, they’re reporting that Apple has begun production of a video-capable iPod which could (emphasis on the “could”) be unveiled as early as next week. Supposedly the device is slightly thinner than a 60GB iPod and has a small, nano-like click wheel and a large, high-res color display. We’ve gotten false alarms about this one before, but if it’s not a video iPod, what else could merit such a massive media event?

We should supposedly be on the lookout for fifth-generation iPods to roll out this month according to, you know, “sources.” They should be sporting new Apple-designed click-wheels, plus an overall reduction in size and volume. It’s believed that Toshiba’s new perpendicular drives will be found inside, and we know they’ve announced an 80GB version so, you know, astute mathematicians could put 2 and 2 together and get an 80GB iPod (we did do well in math, we swear). Will it do video? God Steve Jobs only knows. Also, because stock is running so low on Apple’s high-end models (Power Mac G5s and Powerbook G4s, natch), sources expect we may get an announcement of new pro Macs, including potentially dual-core Power Mac G5s and some sort of bump in the Powerbook line. So keep your eyes peeled for those product leaks we know and love, mmmkay?

Just days after releasing a financial report that showed huge losses for Gizmondo creator Tiger Telematics, the company has announced plans to get its filings up to date and apply for listing on NASDAQ.
If approved, Tiger said in a statement, the listing will allow the company "to engage a much larger investor base as it permits retail solicitation orders and research by analysts. Tiger's common stock will then be considered a marginable security for loans."
Tiger co-founder and chairman Carl Freer said: "We are gearing up our inventory as a result of an unexpected surge in sales. We also need product in the USA for our upcoming launch in time for the Christmas season."
"Recent updates from our manufacturers allow us to expect to have Gizmondos available to meet the increasing demand."
Freer said that the company's investment bank was backing the move and that a registration statement for securities was a possibility in the near future.
He also confirmed that Gizmondo plans to have 89 titles on the market by the end of 2005, adding: "We envision an upcoming period of growth, having evolved from a development company to a solid entertainment and communication company."

Tiger Telematics has released its delayed financial results in a report which shows giant losses for the company along with some interesting explanations as to where investors' money has gone.
According to the report, Tiger faced net losses of around USD 99 million in 2004, and an operating loss of USD 210 million over the first half of 2005. The company blamed these figures on "Development costs for the Gizmondo and non-cash expenses associated with shares of restricted common stock issued for services."
Tiger was able to secure more funding throughout the period, receiving USD 73.1m in investment capital during the period ending August 2005. An extra 24.7m shares of common stock were issued, earning the company more than USD 200m.
Costs have included a USD 5.9m contract Gizmondo Europe signed with Electronic Arts to develop FIFA and SSX games for the handheld, and the operating costs of the company's global network of offices.
In addition, Gizmondo Europe paid independent developer Games Factory Publishing USD 4 million for coming up with concepts for use with 19 Intellectual Properties including Cheerio's, the New Millennium Encyclopedia, Outlaw Golf, Weather Control and Typing Tutor. The latter IP is a particularly curious addition since the Gizmondo has no keyboard, keypad or touch screen.
Perhaps more intriguingly, Gizmondo Europe also paid independent developer Northern Lights USD 3.5 million to create the games Chicane and Colors. However, these games were in fact developed by two differerent studios - Warthog and Indie Studios, both of which are owned by Gizmondo Europe.
Northern Lights, coincidentally, is owned by Gizmondo Europe director Carl Freer together with Stefan Eriksson, executive officer for Gizmondo Europe.
The coincidences don't end there. During 2004-2005, Tiger hired a consultant who was paid more than USD 170,000 for "Marketing and public relations services, an introduction to the performer Sting, and time spent in connection with the Agaju gaming concept currently in development." The consultant's name? Anneli Freer, aka Mrs Carl Freer.
The report goes on to state that Tamela Sainsbury, the corporate secretary of Gizmondo Europe, was paid nearly USD 150,000 in base compensation during 2004, plus USD 83,000 in bonuses. She was also provided with a "luxury automobile" worth USD 70,000. Tamela Sainsbury lives with her partner, Steve Carroll, who incidentally is a director of the company.
It's clear from the report that Gizmondo executives have a taste for luxury cars - Carroll had a vehicle worth more than USD 230,000 bought for him by the company, while Carl Freer's "automobile allowance" for the year stood at just under USD 280,000. Stefan Eriksson's allowance was a more modest USD 104,000.
Freer, Sainsbury, Carroll and Eriksson each earn at least USD 1.5m a year and have been allocated more than 7.5m shares - worth more than USD 94m.
The report also reveals that some employees have been helping themselves to automobile perks: "In 2004, the company issued 800,000 shares valued at USD 1.8m to Joe Marten for services rendered to the company," it states.
Marten was head of investor relations at the time, but later "Left the employment of Gizmondo Europe after the company's board of directors learned that Mr. Marten had made an unauthorized purchase of a luxury automobile using Gizmondo Europe's funds."
The release of the report could signal troubled times for the company - investors are unlikely to be happy with the stranger revelations, or with the fact that no sales figures for the Gizmondo unit itself have been revealed.
Gizmondo, which recently settled lawsuits with the Jordan F1 racing team and landlords Christian and Timbers, continues to face legal action from an ever-growing list of plaintiffs. PR company Ogilvly claims it is owed USD 4.1m plus interest for services rendered during 2003 and 2004, while Handheld Games is suing over a development contract.
In addition, MTV Networks Europe recently announced that it is "reserving its right to bring legal proceedings for payment of outstanding invoices" after Gizmondo failed to hand over an agreed USD 1.5m by the deadline of March 31, 2005.

Master Chief has already cleaned the Covenant's alien armies off a spaceship, a ring-world, and the entire planet Earth--and now it looks like cell phones will be next.
At the CTIA IT Wireless and Entertainment 2005 trade show today, mobile game publisher In-Fusio announced that it had secured a three-year agreement with Microsoft for the mobile rights to the Halo universe. The company has also announced that the first Halo-inspired applications for phones are due later this year on North American carriers, with other regions to follow.
Although In-Fusio would not officially confirm what kinds of Halo apps are in the offing, it did offer a few hints. According to the terms of the agreement, In-Fusio will be able to develop and publish "downloadable and embedded" mobile Halo products.
This suggests that the company is working on a number of different types of content, such as games of various degrees of complexity, ringtones, screensavers, and wallpaper.
In a telephone interview with In-Fusio vice president of business development and brand development Julian Corbett, he indicated that the mobile publisher is participating in ongoing discussions with Microsoft's Bungie Studios in order to decide exactly what sorts of applications will be most appropriate for mobile phones.
”We're working very closely with Bungie throughout the process," Corbett said, "and we're going to be combining our specialty in mobile entertainment with the Halo universe...obviously, we won't be putting the Xbox Halo on cell phones, but we see a number of compelling ways to expand the franchise to mobile."
Corbett went on to intimate that in-Fusio would take a holistic approach to the project, mentioning the community-driven product Neopets as an example of the company's basic methodology.
In-Fusio has had an existing publishing relationship with Microsoft since 2004. So far, the company has published mobile versions of Midtown Madness 3, Zoo Tycoon 2, Age of Empires 2, Banjo-Kazooie, Sabre Wulf, and It's Mr. Pants.

Most businesses aren’t immediately profitable, we know that. You’re very lucky if your startup—especially if it’s a tech startup—isn’t in the hole for a number of years even after taking off (see: TiVo). But according to an SEC filing on the company we love to rib, Tiger Telematics (makers of the Gizmondo portable game system), the company lost $11.1, $8, and then $99 million dollars in 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. Ok, so that’s a pretty steep incline in losses—more than 10x in one year?—but, man, someone must have gone to town between January and June of this year, because their operating losses for the first half of 2005 are already at $210 million. So basically to pull this all together: Tiger’s in the whole for $328 million with a faltering business model selling a perpetually unsuccessful console competing against the PSP and DS—and to add insult to injury, they’re licking their wounds with a continuing series of self-aggrandizing press releases. Seriously, do we really have to spell this out any more?

Nokia announced that it has started shipping Capcom's first game on the N-Gage platform – Catan. Inspired by Klaus Teuber's award-winning board game, Settlers of Catan, which has sold over 15 million copies, the N-Gage version finally takes the game mobile. Catan fans now have the opportunity to discover, settle and trade on the go. Catan on the N-Gage platform offers turn-based strategy multiplayer gaming for up to four players via Bluetooth wireless technology.
"Catan on the N-Gage platform is highly anticipated by the original board game fans. We believe the new mobile multiplayer version of Catan will be very popular with new fans as well," said Gregg Sauter, Director, Games Publishing, Nokia. " Fans also get great Japanese pop-style artwork, created by well-known illustrator Susumo Matsushita, as well as some very colorful characters."
In Catan gamers can compete with each other to build roads, settlements and cities. Gamers will occupy new land to develop into communities with the aim of expanding their civilization and squeezing out competitors. The N-Gage Arena provides tips and hints to gamers as they roll the dice to get the commodities they need to build new roads, cities and settlements. Players can also upload their high score to the N-Gage Arena. Catan offers a balanced mix of tactic, strategy, interaction and - of course – luck.

Zodttd has released a port of Beats of Rage for the Tapwaze Zodiac on the Zodiac Gamer Forums, heres the full info:
PALMBoR runs fullscreen on the Zodiac with full sound.
I decided not to use Skeezix's BoR code due to ethical reasons. I figured getting donations based on very similar work would be weird. I did play Skeezix's version just now and saw the ability to load different BoR packs in a menu system. That's a good idea. Didn't think about people using more than one pack.
More info at link above

Zodttd has released the Worlds first Playstation Emulator for the Tapwave Zodiac over at Zodiac Gamer forums, the emulator is a port of PCSX, heres what the coder posted:
Quick update. It's late and I'm sleepy so this update sorta stinks. I thought I fixed the MDEC movie problem, but it still is a black & white flickering mess, though in the correct proportions! Hehe. The buttons should be configed to match the PSX now. If they're not, which there's a strong chance they might be wrong since I didn't have time to test it, let me know. Soon it will be time for sleep for me.
Check out the above link for the download etc.
