Welcome to The Jungle

Panasonic has just released information on a new handheld they plan to release in the near future, The Jungle. Hopefully, it will do better than the last video game device they released; the 3DO.



The handheld is geared for MMORPG players and will feature a full qwerty keyboard, d-pads, shoulder buttons, touch screen and much, much more. The screen is rumored to be very high-quality, displaying HD-like graphics, and ... run on Linux OS. And, as it's touted as bringing players online games, it will assuredly have wifi if not more, say 3G, though I can imagine that running MMOs very poorly. I assume this will end up being a pricey little device, but only time will tell.

I can't really see it competing directly with the DS, PSP, or iPhone/iPod touch, but rather, cater to a completely new market of PC gamers who want a similar experience, you know, outside of their mom's basement. Just kidding, but seriously...


No news yet on release or price, but I'm sure more information will come soon. Hopefully the official site will be updated with some of the more important news soon, such as price, release date, and launch titles. But, with the popularity of current portables and the upcoming 3DS, who's to say Panasonic's return to gaming won't go the way of N-Gage, Tapwave Zodiac, and Gizmondo?

Poll #7 Results

After the abysmal turnout for the previous poll, we decided to take a different direction in the poll. Because you, the readers, didn't tell us what content you wanted last time, we're going to try and figure out what you want. And luckily, this time, there was turnout! Anyways, let's see the results:

What is your operating system?

Windows Me or older - 0%
Windows XP - 33%
Windows Vista - 26%
Mac OS X - 40%
Mac OS 9 or older - 0%
Linux - 0%
Other - 0%

The results are about what I assumed they would be, though I didn't expect OS X to top Windows XP. At least I can see that nothing we cover has to cater to the Linux or Unix crowd, and I know that we don't have the make the site available to people with decade old operating systems. Still nice to see there's an almost even balance of Mac and PC users, however, if you combine both XP and Vista, Windows has 59% where Mac still has 40%.

Latest poll is up!
