Irish Distribution and Retail Partner Signed Following Successful CeBIT
Gizmondo Europe Ltd made an announcement today regarding its distribution and retail partnerships for Ireland, following what has been an tremendously fruitful trade show for the company at this year's CeBIT in Hannover.
Sigma Wireless ("Sigma") has been appointed as an official distributor for Gizmondo and its products in Ireland. Sigma specialises in the distribution of telecommunications products and services on behalf of many of the world's foremost electronic manufacturers.
Sigma has confirmed its placement of an initial order, and Gizmondo Europe also announces the retail street date for Ireland of 19th April 2005. Leading Ireland based retailers that are already onboard to stock the new multi-entertainment handheld, priced at EUR349, include 3G, Xtravision, and Spectra.
Tony Boyle, of Sigma Wireless, says: "There's been growing interest in Gizmondo since it created such a stir in at the Toys for Big Boys show in Dublin. We're thrilled to be working with Gizmondo Europe in bringing such a feature-packed piece of technology to consumers in Ireland."
Brendan Denhan, of Spectra, commented: "I've walked from one end of CeBIT to the other and this is the most innovative and exciting product I've seen."
Carl Freer, managing director, Gizmondo, says: "The demographic we're targeting in Ireland doesn't differ greatly from the UK, but in-depth knowledge of Irish retail channels is essential. Sigma has that expertise and experience, and we expect great things from them."
