Gizmondo Europe Ltd is announcing the 19 May as the street date for the Gizmondo multi-entertainment handheld in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Nordic regions.
The company says that combined these countries represent a population of over 250million, 12% of which constitutes the Gizmondo's target demographic with interests in the functionality delivered by the entertainment console.
European consumers will be able to purchase Gizmondo packs, which include the standard Gizmondo pack at EUR349, the Smart Adds-enabled pack at EUR189, and the Value Pack at EUR289. As with the UK, subscribers to the 'added value' Smart Adds devices will get twenty free music downloads as well as a host of other free items, in exchange for receiving advertising over GPRS connections.
