Jungle (console)
Portable video game console From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jungle was a portable game console in development by Panasonic, and announced in October 2010. With a design being roughly similar to a small laptop, it was developed as a portable platform for MMOs and aimed at players who wanted to play online games on the go. The Jungle was also Panasonic's first attempt at creating a handheld console.[2][3] It was expected to be released in mid-2011, effectively putting it into the eighth generation of gaming along with the Nintendo 3DS and the then-unreleased PlayStation Vita.

On March 1, 2011, Panasonic announced the cancellation of the Jungle, "due to changes in the market".[4]
