What the...? (http://welcometo.thejungle.com/)
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.

The Jungle? Really?
-
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.
