Panasonic's Jungle

[Maxana32]

I agree with the touchpad being hard to use, I've been playing rs mostly on a laptop, and i bought an external mouse within the first 2 weeks or so. Couldn't stand it anymore...

Is this the device that RuneFest attendees were allowed to test?

[ilovesilvia]

Somewhere it said it was gonna cost around 300-400 dollars. And it looks like its got only a directional pad for controls, how are people going to play rs with that?

It has a touchpad (like a laptop has I guess). Though as others pointed out, that may be difficult to use.

[Maleficus1055]

Way too small to be convenient really, I see it as a waste of money.

[Dexek]

Looks interesting, though I'll have to pass on buying one for Runescape. It would be torture on my eyes and hands... and by the sounds of it, wallet.

[The Dark Lord]

Good luck typing on that thing...

[DeeKay]

I'd probably prefer to buy a laptop that has a proper keyboard (where your finger doesn't press 6 keys at once) and a bigger screen, then hook it up with a netstick.

Runefest attendees were allowed to test something?

[Demoli]

I'd rather buy a small laptop, which is more usefull, and if the skyes are right and Panasonics decides to overprice it, maybe it will even be cheaper.

Playing Runescape on a tiny touchpad would be terrible. It's bad enough on a normal laptop touchpad.

Yeah, heard it was on the Friday/Sunday I remember someone saying on here they went. But they wont be able to confirm if it was or not anyway.

[Clay_More12]

Runescape on TV. :shock:

Sorry, my $300 is reserved for the Nintendo 3DS.

too true.

[GottaGetDownOnfriday]

You can get a laptop for the price of the Jungle and you can do more than game.

[Pinata]

I think this could be nice for laying in bed and playing! Do an AFKable skill such as Woodcutting at Ivy, or perhaps alching!

[Youmu]

Touch screen Runescape. <_<

 

This is only useful for the most casual of players, and even then, they might find this painful to use properly.

[MerchantInTheDark]

Even if it can play RuneScape, an iPad or Netbook can too. Cool nonetheless, however.

This. Though make that £190 ;) 3DS seems like it will be one of the best handheld consoles for a longgg while!

[Naraku893]

Ew Panasonic.

[blakdragon39]

I'm not sure what I think of this. :S Portable MMO's sounds like a great idea.. But I don't see any tiny device with only a touchpad pulling it off. :P Guess we'll see how this goes.

iPads cant play Runescape :S

[IBeATank]

Ehh.... but a MacBook can, no biggie. And like baller said, you can buy a laptop for about the same amount, so the real question is, what else can this contraption do?

[Tsar]

Honestly, I'm not interested in this.

The Jungle will be yet another niché product, much like the iPad is. It's for the people who already own a laptop (or two), want to try out new gadgets as they come, and have the wallet to match. Despite being a mild gadget-savvy person myself, I wouldn't buy the Jungle. I'd much rather be inclined towards a MacBook or a similar size, full featured portable. Just my 2 cents. :wink:
