Tiger Telematics in co-operation with well-respected game industry veterans Warthog
Tiger Telematics (other OTC: TGTL) parent company of Gizmondo Europe Ltd, and Warthog today announced a new partnership. Warthog will support the eagerly anticipated, new, handheld multi-entertainer with game content.
Warthog’s first product for the Gizmondo will be the highly acclaimed Richard Burns Rally.
