Tiger Telematics / BS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another handheld has entered the fray! Recently formed Tiger Telematics (no relation to Game.com makers Tiger Electronics) has announced that they will be releasing a system called the Gametrack, based on the Windows CE operating system. It will have a camera, bluetooth, 3D Mophun gaming (based on synergenix technology, a company they recently acquired), MP3, MPEG-4 video, and GPS. Oddly, there's also a feature that allows parents to track their child through the whereabouts of the device, and the GPS. Thanks to Windows for Devices for the news, and check out some really nice shots of the system there as well.
As an aside - it seems as though a company trying to break into handheld gaming shouldn't name themselves after the company with the most economically dismal handheld failure around. Perhaps they were unaware?
