London -- Tiger Telematics, the Florida-based electronics firm behind the Gizmondo multifunctional handheld video game console, announced on Thursday that it has acquired U.K.-based Integra, a developer of business integration software, and will include its technology in a new smartphone version of its device called the Bizmondo.
