The U.S. launch of Tiger Telematics Inc.’s Gizmondo portable video-game device, as outlined on page 18 of this week’s issue, has been delayed until October. The company blamed the delay on lags on a planned sports game and a global positioning system application. A Gizmondo spokesman said the company has not yet signed a U.S. carrier to support the device. He said the device would sell for either $230 or $400 in the United States. The company set up an advertising service to subsidize the cost of the device. Users who purchase the Gizmondo for $230 agree to receive three advertisements every day. Participating advertisers include Sprite, Adidas and others.
