o Maker of Gizmondo Handheld Game Device Goes Into Liquidation

London - Gizmondo Europe, a unit of Florida-based Tiger Telematics and maker of the Gizmondo handheld game device, has been ordered into liquidation by the U.K. High Court, which recently refused the company's application for bankruptcy protections. Gizmondo Europe employees will be laid off, and sales of its assets are expected to bring $72 million, according to an SEC filing. Since launching in Europe six months ago, the company has reported sales of only about 5,000 consoles, and has not provided sales figures for the U.S. market, where the device went on sale in October at kiosks in 10 shopping malls. Tiger Telematics CEO Michael Carrender told The New York Times that the company is attempting to raise $30 million in emergency financing from a Swiss equity group to continue its U.S. operations, but the company said in the SEC filing that it is also exploring strategic alternatives that include a sale of the company. "Gizmondo did not fill a need," Wedbush Morgan Securities research analyst Michael Pachter told The Times.

o Sony Pictures Announces Blu-ray Movie Pricing, DVD-UMD Bundles

o MobiTV, IPWireless Partner to Develop Mobile TV Multicasting

Emeryville, Calif. - MobiTV, a developer of technology that delivers live television to mobile phones, announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with IPWireless to jointly develop mobile TV technology that combines MobiTV's "unicast" method with the TDtv "multicasting" technology developed by IPWireless. The multicast technology will alleviate strain on networks unicasting mobile TV in areas where large numbers of phones are accessing the same channel; multicasting allows an infinite number of phones to watch the same channel or use the same network bandwidth. MobiTV and IPWireless will test the delivery MobiTV over TDtv during the first half of 2006, with commercial roll-out of TDtv networks expected by mid-2007. Emeryville, Calif.-based MobiTV currently claims over 500,000 subscribers to its service, which is offered by mobile networks including Sprint and Cingular.

o Internet-based Gambling Firm GameLogic Raises $18.6 Million

Waltham, Mass. - GameLogic, a provider of Internet-based gaming entertainment platforms designed to help casinos and lotteries boost revenues, has raised $18.6 million in its second round of venture capital, led by Bain Capital Ventures. Founded in 2002, GameLogic offers regulatory-compliant Internet gambling platforms like PlayAway, where casino visitors can purchase wagering "tickets" within the casino, play Internet-based gaming in surrounding areas, and return to the casino to collect winnings. The company's HomePlay functions in a similar way with state lotteries, where wagers and collections take place through a licensed lottery organization. Last November, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission approved the company's platform after a formal review by the State's Division of Gaming Enforcement.
