Gizmondo Demonstrates Sat Nav at CeBIT
London, UK (SPX) Mar 14, 2005 Gizmondo is profiling its satellite navigation software application on the Gizmondo stand at the CeBIT European consumer electronics and videogames show, which started last Thursday in Hannover, Germany and closes Wednesday. The Gizmondo lists an arsenal of functionality including gaming, MP3 and MPEG 4 music and movie playback, email, SMS, and picture messaging. In addition, the subscription-free GPS hardware embedded on the device enables many other day-to-day practical applications and uses - satellite navigation being just one of those. CeBIT, which runs from 10th - 16th March 2005, has been chosen for Gizmondo to demonstrate the latest mapping and route-finding software from Tom Tom. 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. Carl Freer, managing director, Gizmondo, says: "CeBIT will be the first event we've shown the GPS functionality of the device, and the satellite navigation demo from Tom Tom will undoubtedly draw a great deal of interest." He added. "How we proceed with navigation software will depend largely on responses we get at the show." 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.
