Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?
By Roger Strukhoff
Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

LONDON, January 27 /PRNewswire/ --

- Management structure bolstered with appointment of VP of Worldwide Sales

Gizmondo Europe Ltd, subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc (OTC: TGTL; OTC: TGTL.PK), is pleased to announce Mike Morgan will be joining the Tiger Telematics management team as Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Gizmondo from the 1st February 2005. Responsible for developing and implementing the company's dynamic go-to-market strategy, he will also spearhead driving sales through international retail, distribution and specialist channels, whilst engineering the company's expansion into new territories.

Morgan joins from Sony Europe where he was responsible for the foundation of their commercial business. As a member of Sony Europe's Sales and Marketing Platform management team, he developed Sony's commercial end-customer and channel strategies and business model, leading to the creation of commercial channel sales and marketing organizations across much of Western Europe. Additionally, he was responsible for developing and launching the Sony '1' channel program in Europe.

Prior to joining Sony, Morgan spent 9 years with Compaq and then the 'new' HP in various senior sales and marketing management roles including Channel Business Unit Director for Compaq UK and Ireland, and Director of Hewlett Packard's Enterprise Channel business in Europe, Middle East and Africa following the merger.

Morgan's formative career was spent with General Computer Corporation, Rank Xerox and Pitney Bowes. He was also a Commissioned Officer, and trained as a pilot in the Royal Air Force.

Mike Morgan, VP of Global Sales, Gizmondo, says: "Gizmondo is a dynamic company with a genuinely exciting product. A great deal of groundwork has been done already for the spring launches, and there are still many global channels to develop. I'm confident my experience will benefit the operational structure of both companies, as well as their continued growth."

Carl Freer, Managing Director, Gizmondo, says: "We are delighted to have Mike with us and welcome him to the management team. His considerable industry knowledge, garnered with both Sony Europe and Compaq, will prove an invaluable asset as we introduce the Gizmondo to market and develop strategies to extend the product portfolio."

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 MMC card accessories.

The Gizmondo device and its games are currently launching in the U.K. and in North American and Continental Europe markets during the spring of 2005.
