The Panasonic Jungle
« on: Monday, October 04, 2010, 06:14:39 PM »
What the...?

Some show on MTV is supposed to show it tonight, so we'll get more info after that. Some sort of handheld online gaming device? Clam shell like a DS, dpad, buttons, keyboard, Linux based...sounds like the Pandora.

Will be interesting to see what it really is.



Kinda ugly.

You know, if it supports homebrew or quickly gets hacked for it...I might get one. Would be nice to have an open handheld.

I was mostly talking about the name. Most dudes would prefer not to play with a jungle....

Supposedly, the screen is supposed to be really good.  It's also meant to play allow people to play online, as a true online handheld gaming device, so it might have 3G in it.  I do wonder if 3G speeds will be able to handle gaming online though...

A handheld aimed at PC gamers?

Aww yea.

It looks really really ugly though, I agree.

Apparently aimed at MMO fans:

edit:

Wow, the promo video on the engadget link looks terrible.

I don't know about the handheld, but fuck them for making a potentially cool looking Battlestar space-sim as an MMO (if it looks anything like that footage).

Yea I haven't seen the footage but it does sound like battlestar and mmos were made for each other.
