====== Tiger Telematics Gizmondo ======

Possibly the only handheld in existence to be bankrolled by wanted felons, Tiger Telematics' (not to be confused with Tiger Electronics, maker of those awful LCD games) Gizmondo was a miserable failure. Releasing on March 19th, 2005, the Gizmondo's launch was marred with misery, due to poor marketing, games, links to the Swedish Mafia (through Tiger Telematics), and most importantly - spending way too much money. Despite all of this, the Gizmondo's specs weren't bad, with the system containing a common ARM9 processor, a 320x240 screen, 128 MB of RAM, and 64 MB of internal storage. Having read all of that above, it comes as no surprise that the Gizmondo didn't even sell 50k units, with the system discontinued on February 6th, 2006 - not even a year after it's launch.
