The company's main claim to fame is a feature-packed, next-generation handheld gaming device it calls GAMETRAC. This unit, utilizing a Microsoft WINDOWS CE.NET operating system, also can serve as a digital camera, an MP3 player, and a GPS tracking device - and, word on the street is that it's about to clobber comparable units being produced by Sony & Nokia.

In fact, GAMETRAC is about to be unveiled by Microsoft today (WED) at the Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas.

Now for the interesting part - Over the past year (read the company's news releases!), Tiger Telematics has entered into several agreements with larger companies to assist in all phases of GAMETRAC development from design & engineering to production. All these companies have been paid with restricted (can not trade for 2 years) shares of TIGR common stock.

The names on this "partner" list include Plextek, Synergenix, Intrinsyc, and Celestica; any on of which is large enough to easily swallow TIGR. Another player, though indirect, is Xilinx, which is also huge and is about to mention its affiliation with Tiger Telematics in a news release scheduled for today (WED).

Just look at what has happened to value of these partners' contracts over the past week, now that share values have risen from a nickel to $ 0.26!

It is the humble opinion of this author that at least one of these "partners" is very interested in slurping up Tiger Telematics. And one final point this observer finds very, very interesting is that the company's president, Michael Carrender, has bought over 130,000 shares oof his own copany's stock during the past month, much of it near rocord-high prices. Now why would he do that?

Bottom line: TIGR shares are a bloody steal at any price below fifty cents! This stock is soon going to fetch at least $ 2.50 a share, perhaps more if the bidding war I envision materializes. So - don't bicker over nickels and dimes while accumulating; for if you do you are very liekly to miss out entirely.

Although there are about 155 millioin share outstanding, when you net out the retsricted and otherwise tied-up shares and the company's many loyal investing followers, there is actually only a 30 to 35 million share float that actually trades - which is why prices have risen so rapidly.
