Panasonic Readying New Portable Console?

[dsister]

This is Jungle. It's the first portable gaming console designed exclusively for online gaming and MMORPGs. And it's from the company who gave us the 3DO nearly 20 years ago.

Sure, the PSP and Nintendo DS have online multiplayer gaming, but it's not the core of what they do. That's why Jungle seems more like a tiny PC, with a full QWERTY keyboard and a touchpad along with the d-pad and shoulder buttons you'd expect in a tiny gaming console—so you can take online games from the PC with you.

Some other (rumored) features

• Linux OS
  
• HDMI port
  
• HD screen

So it will be like a mini laptop essentially, but on a very tiny screen. I bet it costs a lot to boot, no thanks.

^^ pffft... so ? Im a smash hit in korea... also the site doesn't say very much... except "We are online gaming !" ... should say "We have tiny fingers" ... seriously can you make them buttons any smaller ??? Well it better be able to play WoW... and even if it can I doubt this is a good idea... I mean the reason people pay online games is cause they don't want to leave their home... or lost the confidence/physical-capability to do so years ago... my gut feeling says crash and burn...

Linux OS, QWERTY, and online games exclusively... console my ass.
