FYI, this story is more than a year old

Panasonic has officially unveiled its "Jungle" handheld device, which has been designed as a portable means of playing online games such as Battlestar Galactica Online.

In fact, Battlestar Galactica Online is the only game officially supported by the platform at this point in time, although it's speculated that a number of browser-playable games can be run on the Jungle. The device itself features a full-QWERTY keyboard, two D-pads, shoulder buttons and a touchpad. Other details are currently rather scarce. It's all very interesting, but it also reminds me a little of the dedicated Twitter device.
